Is it a guess or the official information?

It is an official information. Mark replied me 2 days before via email, that HCE will not be release this year. The release date is still TBA, probably it will be release in the end of the year 2018 and more probably it will be in the spring 2019. HCE 2.0 is not finished at all. Hiarcs 15 engine is also still in development.

If such amount of time to date AND to 2019 is required, so clearly Mark is trying a total rewrite or even more of the full program, GUi included and who know what else...

Is that really what the email said?

Harvey pointed me here as even he did not know about this information (me neither!)

I was asked "could you please tell me if HCE 2.0 will be released this year?"

My response was "I do not know, it could be but I do not know for sure."

It is still under development...
Best wishes,
Mark

Thank you very much. We are waiting...
The only thing I use in my Chessbase is the chess base to find the games.
HCE is more useful for me for all other tasks.
