HIARCS Chess Forums

Hi Hiarcs fans
I have both tournament and H ref books
which online book is better for my opening prep? and also, what is the difference between the two?

Cheers

Hi there,
i have the yearly tournament book subscription. i noticed that they are quarterly updates. do i have to update manually every quarter or does the HCE do it automatically ?
many thanks

Now that sounds amazing!

anyone?

i've just seen that in the new update......What does it mean?

Hi
In Your next Build of Hiacs, would it be possible to add more time control options?
For example; 90 minutes for the first 40 moves followed by 30 minutes for the rest of the game with an addition of 30 seconds per move starting from move one.

Many thanks

Rich

Thanks for the clarification. i shall change some settings.

Sorry...nobody told me, i just assumed that the HIARCS forum was for the HIARCS product.You must admit, it is kind of misleading!
Will i have to repost on the support part of the forum or will they eventually answer here?
Again, I apologise
Thanks

I'm even on the right forum? I ask a question to the Hiarcs chess explorer people! however people only seem to reply to posts about retro chess machines! does anyone know the forum for the HIARCS chess explorer?
Many thanks

Why does Hiarcs chess explorer always play the sicilian defence when responding to 1 E4 ? It would nice if Hiarcs could play some other responses without having to manually set it up.

Would anyone care to answer this? I would also like to know the answer!

Hmm, the issue is I've played quite a lot of games with hiarcs at 750 elo, and I felt it was stronger than shredder at 1200! That's a big difference! Online my rating is around 1200 also. When I get home I shall post one of the games. May be hiarcs has a different style of play and I'm just not used...

Thanks, the reason I ask was that I played a 90min + 30 secs game against hiarcs at the Lowest elo setting and it still played fairly strong.....much stronger then shredder 12 ( I normally play shredder at around 1200 elo)

If i were to play a game against Hiarcs at a set ELO and a time control of 5 secs per move. would it play stronger at that same ELO if i were to play a G90?
In other words.....do the length of time you give the computer to think affect it's strength despite not changing the ELO value?
Many thanks
