HIARCS 14 w/Chess Explorer

Post by ssace »

Considering getting this for PC. Are there any differences in what you get between DEEP & Single processor versions other than the engine? Is the GUI exactly the same and do you get the same databases/opening book etc.?

Thanks

You also get access to a different online opening book.

Yes I was reading the differences and wasn't sure what the Single Core version means when it says "GUI access to standard online content." which to me is a little vague.

While Deep HIARCS Chess Explorer offers:
GUI access to online content of 1,000 Gb of chess endgame tablebases and GM+ opening books

Also, how large is the database that each comes with?

I'm primarily after the single core version and want the database, opening book, and analysis/blunder check of Club games. Not into engine v engine matches & analysis.

I'm not a big fan of Fritz with it's large footprint, crashes, & database files that appear to be scattered all over the place in Windows.
