Great advert for chess! Has anyone read the book? Is it a worthwhile read after watching the series? I read the book coincidently a few weeks ago before hearing that they made a movie out of it. The book was great. It keeps you at the edge of your seat throughout. The author of the book is the same...

Running old engines on Mac OS X 10.15 Catalina
As you might have heard, Apple is locking down the security of their computers and operating systems more and more. Mac OS X 10.15 (Catalina) especially is now requiring all executables to be codesigned by a registered Apple developer. This includes normal Mac Applications, such as Hiarcs Explorer, ...

I'm finding play.lczero.org to be an interesting opponent for my entire stable of dedicated computers. Due to its tactical weakness, it has trouble against even the 6502 computers like the Milano and Avant Garde. Yet because of its positional sophistication, it has won games against even Genius 680...

Re: hiarcs explorer diagrams
Can you create those classic USCF style diagrams (common in chess books) with HIARCS Explorer? I've found PC programs for this but I'm looking for something that runs on a mac. Several ways: 1. You can go to Edit > Copy > Board Image. Then open the built-in Preview application, and select File > Ne...

Nice video [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVDDp3nvNc8[/youtube] Oh, I really want to see the whole thing now! It cut off just as the game was getting interesting. This video is also a reminder that this is an operator championship as much as a computer championship. It looks like Jonny was...

Hiarcs is winning after 48 moves against Ginkgo engine :) ...but couldn't manage to convert the pawn advantage to a won endgame. That seemed to be the theme for Hiarcs this year: it also had a strong advantage against The Baron but couldn't convert, and pushed too hard against Raptor letting a long...

Re: HIARCS Chess Explorer 1.9 released!
In another thread, we were told to Get Info on the HIARCS Explorer app, and check "Prevent App Nap". But this option has disappeared in version 1.9! Mark, is this a HIARCS packaging bug? In case this can't be fixed, I researched a way to disable/reenable App Nap globally, using these Term...

Re: HIARCS Chess Explorer 1.9 released!
Hi all! Is it dead? Version 1.8 is way back now, Thanks Good timing! They just released version 1.9 at the end of March. I'm surprised there isn't a sticky post in this forum about it. However, I've found that an old bug has reared its head. If I start an engine match and then leave my computer una...
