Upcoming Hiarcs releases?

Post by tomgdrums »

Just wondering about any upcoming Hiarcs releases? My chess budget has some rare overflow. :)

Is Junior still being released as a Hiarcs product? I know they often take some time in between releases. And it has been awhile.

I know that HCE 2 is in the works as is Hiarcs 15. And look forward to both of those!

Basically I am just curious!

Thanks!

Same here. Devoted HIARCS Chess Explorer Mac user. :-)

Would love to see multi-threaded game analysis in the next major release. (So you can do other things while a game is being analyzed.) Also, batch analysis of multiple games.

I'm also interested to know when series 2 will be out.

I seem to be straddling two operating systems at the moment, and a decent chess GUI for the Mac would be appreciated.

I too am anxious to see the new version of HCE and Hiarcs. I am hoping HCE 2 will get me closer to using HCE as my primary database. Right now I still mostly have to use Chess Assistant. HCE is such a pleasure to use though. I am hoping also that Hiarcs gets more chess "knowledge" and not just a boost in elo from search optimizations, etc...things Hiarcs used to be famous for (positional and human like play).
Kind Regards,

Just installed the 1.8 update and looking forward to using it. :-)

Thanks, Mark!

Where did you get the update for 1.8 version? It is not available for download. If I click on "check for updates" it still shows that available version is only 1.7.

Multiple game analysis ("batch wise analysis") would be fantastic.
I am using HCE not only for myself, but also for analyzing my chess clubs team's games and for a youth team of our club. Its a bit inconvenient, if you have to start each game manually (monitoring of the computer status - save - load next game - …). Just to put "games in filter" or "whole database" analysis would make it much easier.
Thanks in advance for taking it into consideration!

I am currently a db subscriber(1 Yr), however I clearly need the browser to take full advantage of this. With 2.0 supposedly right around the corner I would be interested in buying the current 1 series(1.8,1.9, whatever), but only on condition that I would get a very hefty discount on the upcoming 2.0 browser release.

Best to email support with these kind of questions.
