Question for Mark or Harvey about the New iPad Hiarcs

RadioSmall · Post by **RadioSmall** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 6:34 am

I was delighted to see pictures of the new iPad Hiarcs on the website today!! As I was reading the iPad Hiarcs manual I noticed that there was no mention of tournament time controls in the time settings for Hiarcs iPad .So my Question is does iPad Hiarcs support Tournament time Controls ( i.e 40 moves in 2 hours) .Also I read that it supports average time , what is the slowest one can set the average time to ??

I presume it is the same as my new iPhone version long games include 60+15 and 90+30

You can also chose game in 2 minutes or average 1 second a move.

Thanks for the reply .I am surprized it does not have 40 moves in 2 hours.Even palm Hiarcs has it. I know it has average 1 second a move does it go all the way up to average 3 minutes per move??

I also wonder about this ... it seems almost no iPhone / iPad chess engine has 40/120 ... this is really sad ... and I don't understand this ...

Hi Mythbuster
Yes indeed it is the saddest thing I can think of .... The Question Harvey has not answered yet is whether it has 3 minutes per move average which would be the equivalent of 40 moves in 2 hours .All the tournaments I play in , in the United States are at 40 moves in 2 hours.

Hello Harvey,
One more question. Any idea when it will be out? I am looking every day at the App Store ... I am really looking forward to it.

Can't wait Regards,
Sascha

Good to hear this : Now the SSDF can test this intetresting combination of software and Hardware because as you know they only test at 40 moves in 2 hours.However still I think various tournament time controls like 40 moves in x amount of time should be implemented just like it is in Palm Hiarcs.

As far as I know it is with apple they seem to take their time approving apps.

Will the new iPhone HIARCS 13.3 install as a separate app to 12.4, or will it replace it? (I'm assuming 13.3 is not a free update)

It is a free upgrade and available now.

Today there was a big update to the iPhone version which I have on my iPad. Will the iPad version be the same as this updated version which is for the iPhone? And what will the cost be for those of us who have the iPhone version?
