HIARCS Chess Forums

Would LOVE HIARCS for Android - and many of us have been waiting for it for long time! However, I want to use it both on Windows and on Android, so I can't possibly vote in a poll that is strictly either/or...

Fantastic news, thanks Mark! I do hope the seemingly never-ending problem getting Mac driver support doesn't keep you from pushing through with the windows side of the implementation...

Any chance an Android version is still on the list? Don't intend to be rude, I just feel the need to ask again, as it's been 4 years since this thread was started, and nearly 2 since I last asked...

Hi Mark,

Please add another vote for DGT board support. Any chance this is on the to-do list for HCE 2.0?

Thanks,
Pete

On the other point about the current position, you can lock the Opening Explorer and Game Explorer to show the moves, statistics and games from the current position by using the Show games button (click on the padlock on the button to lock it). Very nice, I didn't realize what that did. A much bett...

Great, thanks for the information! Very helpful to know more about how the engine and book options affect play realism.

4) Why not load the reference database My thought was that it would be very convenient to be able to analyze a game in one database but use a separate reference database as a source for information in the opening explorer and game explorer windows while doing so. Certainly there are workarounds by ...

Does the choice for "book mode" in the engine settings affect the play for the reduced Elo settings? Also, I currently have the Hiarcs14dBook.HCS tournament book loaded. I know the quality of that book for analysis, but is that the best book to use for reduced Elo play, or is there a bette...

Thanks for the great program, I find myself turning to HCE almost all the time now! A few things on my wish list for a future release , some of which have already been suggested - so just add my vote for those! 1. The ability to run more than 1 engine in analysis explorer on same tab - very useful f...

Fantastic, thanks for the new release! Just as an FYI, I did not receive an email, so I hope it went out to most ok. I just picked up HCE on Feb. 3, so I know my info is correct, and it did not hit spam...

In the analysis explorer window, when running with multiple lines of analysis, it would be nice to have an option to limit the output displayed for each variation to just one line instead of scrolling each to multiple lines. It would make for a much cleaner, more usable look for multi-pv.

Fantastic, thanks Mark - hope you manage to fit it in, and thanks for all the hard work!

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but was just curious what the current thinking is on the possibility of an Android version. I switched from iOS to Android last year, and frankly not having HIARCS is about my only regret...

Have you set it to beginner mode?

fyi, beginner mode = the instant sparring level presets, selectable from the playing level menu.

Also will it have a level that can always be beaten?... I have not tested the Hiarcs 9.6 elo levels but only see that it goes down as low as 1350 Elo and this is too strong and you need somthing about 1000 Elo for a rank beginner. Try the "Instant Sparring" levels - perfect for what you'r...
