Re: Texel 1.10 on the DGT Pi Vs Stockfish16NN on the Mephisto Phoenix

Hi Alan 'Scally'

With a view to self improvement, can I use the Phoenix for improving / learning tactics?

(I'm thinking of buying the Phoenix, but want to do my homework first)

Thank you
John

Ha. This was a very simple fix. I typed the Lichess API token as opposed to copy and paste.
Works a dream now.

Re: How to access: HCE customer discounted upgrade to HCE Pro

Error was mine.
If I had installed the most recent December update, then the upgrade feature would have worked a treat.
Looks exciting with some extra icons.
Thanks for support of a not really tech person.

Re: How to access: HCE customer discounted upgrade to HCE Pro

I've managed the sequence as neatly described.
The pop-up (for Mac) appears for two seconds, then HIARCS "unexpectedly crashes"
I can only reopen HIARCS by rebooting my MacBook. No upgrade achieve so far.

Create database what next...

I've saved a bunch of games in PGN format in my documents folder. The same games are also open in Hiarcs.
I have somehow got one game into the database, but how do I add the other 20 games to the same database?
Thanks
