Post by Mark Uniacke »

Hi,

The Sigma Chess 6.1.5 and HIARCS 11.2 update has been released and is available for download on www.hiarcs.com now.

The latest version of Sigma Chess GUI is version 6.1.5 and contains the following enhancements over v6.1.4:
+ Now bundled with the new HIARCS 11.2 engine! This engine is a Universal Binary and thus runs at full speed on Intel Macs. Additionally, a multi processor version is available for even stronger play.
+ No longer crashes when opening Sigma by double clicking a previously saved game or collection.
+ No longer fails when importing long PGN games.
+ The Copy Analysis function now copies all lines in case MultiPV is used.
+ Fixed a bug where Analyze Game sometimes skipped moves.
+ Improved the time allocation handling in the low ELO settings.

The latest version of the HIARCS chess engine is version 11.2 and contains the following enhancements over v11.1:
+ HIARCS 11.2 MP support for up to 8 CPU cores verified: Some customers now have 8 CPU cores and this version of HIARCS can utilise them simultaneously.
+ Minor engine enhancements to both SP and MP versions.
+ Book moves now displayed in analysis mode and fixed depth searches during the opening.

Both Sigma Chess 6.1.5 and HIARCS 11.2 are free updates for existing Macintosh customers.

Existing customers can use their existing HIARCS license name and key to unlock the new HIARCS 11.2 version.
Best wishes,
Mark
