HIARCS Chess Forums

Thank you for your reply. I am disappointed with this and I understand that you cannot release every conceivable option however all other chess GUI that I am aware of do not have these engine / opening book restrictions. The play engine match option as implemented in HCE 1.6 is not useful as it stan...

It seems customer support is on holidays, well never mind I think I found out the answer which if correct is fundamental to the way HCE operates. To confirm my fears I loaded up an engine to play against and lo and behold it did not appear to use the local opening book which just sits there but is i...

It seems after 30 odd hours and 36 views there is still no reply to my query :( Therefore I will assume that my query is not fully understood, so I shall explain more clearly. I wish to play some games between 2 engines. The steps I take as follows:- 1. Click Play followed by New Engine Match. 2. In...

When setting up 2 engines to play each other I cannot find the options to select the starting positions for the games by either opening books or database.

Hi Mark Not sure where to post this, but here goes. One of my games went like this :- [Event "Rated game, 16 min"] [Site "Engine Room"] [Date "2012.01.08"] [Round "?"] [White , Houdini 2.0c x64"] [Black "Omega-three, Houdini 2.0c x64"] [Result &...

Bump.

Hi, would it be possible to change the behaviour of the program so that when selecting new game the time does not start counting until white makes the first move.

Thanks

Hi all, I have seen a few bug reports on this forum including one of my own. I was wondering if there should be a dedicated bug reporting section. This would surely make it easier for the development team to find what is being reported. Perhaps this section could then be further divided into the di...

Hi Yarc I tried the position on my Palm TX and it resigned as well, however I did not get the error message you got. I am using the arm engine. I have tried using infinite analysis about half a dozen times and each time after about 8 minutes or so the program freezes on me needing a reset. So I susp...

Hi tiger

Everything you wanted to know about the Hiarcs for palm can be found here.

To answer your question goto the engine room and select Book which gives you the choice of off, wild, surprise, playable and tournament.

Another thing when I press 'T' I get a move take back however when I press 'N' It does nothing, I need to go to the menu and press 'new game /N'

Hi Cubeman Yes the setting for smart move entry was ticked. From the link you supplied it looks as though Mark is aware of this and will release an update. In the following position I was white and offered a draw which was declined :o [fen]8/3k4/8/5b1P/8/8/6K1/8 w - - 0 1[/fen] Another thing when I ...

In the following position, white to move : [fen]q4b2/7k/2bp1p1p/1ppB1P2/8/1Q3N1P/1P3PP1/2B1r1K1[/fen] Using smart move entry I click on the black rook expecting Knight takes Rook but nothing happens, In order to make a move I had to click on the Knight then on the Rook. This is not how I thought sma...

Hi bretti I tried clean start but it made no difference as soon as I go into engine room it shows 2048kb again. :( A Further issue I have discovered is a problem with smart move entry where it stops working, mostly in end games, I need to test some more. It would be kinda cool if smart move entry co...

Hello omega - three ... with regard to the size of the Hash Tables this is in the habit of happening if you have programs of a very big size in the Palm +1.5M and have just used it, the better thing is to do a Reset in order that Hiarcs has the maximum memory 4M, this also happens with the Palm TX,...
