HIARCS Chess Forums

I had the same suspicion about their motivation. No sign of a Mac version of the updated software either.

Just got an email announcing a new greatly changed chess base 17, with a new data structure. Any news on whether hiarcs will be able to access the new data, assuming some or all of new cb products use the new data structure,

I noticed a number of posters use hce and it’s books for correspondence chess. Any suggestions on web servers that permit the use of engines (and not just opening info) I’m aware of iccf but worried I might be out matched, being that I’m class A otb.

Can an iPad running hiarcs access[
any of the subscription books online, or is it limited to the downloaded tournament book?

How do I get access to the manual directly from the program btw?
