Thank you sir

That's it really. Is there an option that would allow me to have HIARCS play itself from a given position?

I'm surprised that HIARCS doesn't include at least a library of puzzles, so that would be a minimum request. But what I'd really like to see is some sort of intelligent trainer that would focus on tactics and strategy that, if diligently followed, would improve the user's game. Thanks for listening,...

I just had a very strange 5 minute game with HIARCS: HIARCS 14 WCSC 1400 - Lloyd Deane 0-1 2014.02.12 C44: King's Pawn game 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Ng1 Nf6 4.Nc3 Bc5 5.Bc4 O-O 6.d3 d6 7.Nge2 h6 8.O-O Bg4 9.Be3 Qd7 10.d4 exd4 11.Bxd4 Nxd4 12.h3 Bh5 13.Kh1 Rfe8 14.g4 Nxg4 15.hxg4 Bxg4 16.Bd5 Bf3+ 17.Kh2 R...

Thanks for the lead. All three privileges are set to "Read & Write". Although for some reason, one entity says "fetching...". Lloyd - Is there a Hiarcs14 .hcs book within your Books folder? Yup, the file I have within the Books folder is named: "Hiarcs14bBook.hcs"

It says "NO BOOK FOUND". Same problem here on my mac. -Izmet (http://fekali.com/collection) I had the same issue w/ my Mac that Mark helped me solve. From you finder on the Mac, select your "Documents" folder, then select the "HIARCS Chess" folder, then right click on ...

Hi, I'm not sure how this happened, but for some reason, Hiarcs is playing as though it doesn't have an opening book. I normally play basic 5 minute games with it. With white, it takes 5-10 seconds to decide on a move. With black, it also hesitates, even with conventional moves from white (e.g., e4...

Please note the installer created a folder in your home Documents folder called HIARCS Chess, in there you will find the Databases, Documentation folders etc. You should have access to write into folders in this location. It may be you are trying to write to the /Applications/HIARCS Chess/Databases...

D'oh. A simple matter of unlocking the HIARCS databases folder using my system password, and then adding myself to the permissions list, and granting myself read & write permissions.

Cheers!

(now all I have to do is beat this beast)

When you select File->New, do you at least get the "New database" popup window with the "Save As:" prompt? If so, one possibility is that the default save location (indicated by the Where: selection box) is a location where you don't have file write permissions. Just as a quick ...

I'm running the Mac OS version on a brand new MacBook Pro. The documentation suggests creating a new database to store my games in pgn format. However when I try to create one (File-->New) I get the following error: "Cannot create HIARCS Chess Explorer database". Thoughts? suggestions?
