HIARCS Chess Forums

I've copied and pasted a game from another program into HIARCS and had it do an analysis. Now I'd like to store the game in HIARCS in the Played Games pgn. However, it doesn't let me add the analyzed game to the Played Games pgn. Instead when I save the analyzed game it saves it *as* a pgn. If I try...

How do I do that?

I can make it play itself from the first move, but I want to set up positions and have the computer go at it form both sides of the board. How do I do this?

Danke.

Your verbal abilities are even worse than the people who wrote the documentation...

The documentation says this:

"Hiarcs has three different playing styles, namely, Active, Aggressive and Solid."

Clear enough. But then it says:

"The Normal style is the default and believed to be the best."

So what do I take from that?!?

He did. He forgot to put up the link to the Mac update! It works now.

Sigh...Mac is always relegated to the back.

I just sent an email to Mark U. Maybe he has some answers...

I should have told you I have the Mac version.

According to the website, 1.9 is latest for Mac, and that's what I have. Also, this doesn't explain why I have this "bug" on one computer but not another even though I downloaded the same exact software to both.

Could someone point me to the link? I can't find it, even when I ask Google.

Thanks.

Thanks. Where's the link to upgrade?

...And I should say it asks me each time to save the game before quitting, and then reloads in the "New database" mode and makes me start a new game from the position to resume my game, whether I choose "quit" when I exit or just "close."

When I quit the app it asks me to save, as either 1-0, 0-1, * or don't save. So I save it as something, usually * because I'm not finished. When I return I'm in the New Database screen. To get to my game again the only way I know how is to reload it by searching under playedgames.png and then resumi...

That's really weird. I'm wondering if I'm doing something differently. How do you get back into a game after exiting the program? I bring it up and get a board that's at starting position, with the window saying "New Database" by default. To get the game I was playing I go to File/Open rec...

Thanks. Now I have another question. I notice my clocks keep resetting. I have them set for 120 mins for one game, but when I quit out and return later the clocks are reset to 2:00:00 and start counting down again. Anyone know what this is about? Thx.

...And I have a question about playing styles. The manual says there are multiple playing styles, from raw beginner to grandmaster, and various styles of playing. All I've seen so far is the ability to adjust the strength from ELO 750 up and the ability to play a "strong," "aggressive...
