Hiarcs10 is more than 100 elo better than hiarcs9 but it was not the case in the past. This is also misleading to say that hiarcs gain 100 elo between versions because no new hiarcs was released for a long time and the time between hiarcs9 and hiarcs10 is certainly more than one year. Fruit usually gain 100 elo in clearly less time than one year. Uri
