Re: Dragon 3.3. UCI engine
This is also one of the reasons why I don't like Mac at all. It has very poor compatibility. The only compatibility is mainly ensured with software that is directly developed by Apple. All other software, despite all efforts, have difficulties. See Stockfish. Such a simple program that is well-tune...

Re: Advice for general workflow using HIARCS with chess books
You could save all games in a single database, add custom flags to games as needed, and which you could then use in addition to HIARC's built-in facilities to search based on ECO classifications.

Re: Chess960 FEN in HCE
OK - to answer my own question: I just found and searched all 960 Chess960 positions. I could not find any positions where the king was not between 2 rooks. I guess the question is moot.

Chess960 FEN in HCE
Consider this position: bnkbqrnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/BNKBQRNR w FHfh - 0 1 and some general information from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forsyth–Edwards_Notation HCE when given this position only allows castling with the H file rooks: bnkbqrnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/BNKBQRNR w ...

Re: Version 1.3
There are still many things that can be improved. Read the forum well and you will know what to improve. The engine itself is very average. Mark should get down to work and significantly improve it to a ranking similar to the Stockfish engine. @Mag: Sorry to chime in, but I strongly object to your ...

Re: HIARCS 1.2 Annotation Bug?
Thank you. After quitting all other startup items and extensions, it is improved, but still having trouble getting yellow: Which key combo do you use for yellow? I get Control -> Green Option -> Green Control+Option -> Green Control+Shift -> Red Control+Alt -> Red Command - the piece is sometimes mo...

HIARCS 1.2 Annotation Bug?
Is it just me, or is it no longer possible in HIARCS 1.2 to create yellow annotation arrows and squares as described in the manual on: https://www.hiarcs.com/hce-pro/manuals/mac/Enteringandannotatinggames.html If anyone has a workaround, I'd appreciate your post. How red and green are made is also a...

Re: Online lessons using HCE Pro
I don't see how this is simpler if I have to painfully accept/reject each line. How is that simpler than just adding lines and using undo/remove line(s)? if I play with moves I am not sure I would add, I often use Cmd/Ctrl to replace the previous line. I remember that Scid database had "Try&qu...

Re: Which version is best for me?
Thank you Mark... I just need to figure stuff out. I may re-buy (it seems that this may be my only/best choice for what I'm doing). Again, I don't know what I don't know so I just need to figure it out. DECG I strongly encourage you to reconsider and purchase HIARCS Chess Explorer Pro. It is highly...

Re: Which version is best for me?
For an Apple Silicon chess app with database and opening book support (it can even create opening books from your PGN repertoire), take a look at Chess Lab (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/chess-lab/id1557677888?mt=12). For something like $7, it is very functional. You can't install your own engines. ...

Re: Version 1.2
Software development is complicated and even more difficult when targeting multiple platforms. The creation of HCE by such a small team is remarkable enough. The ground is literally moving under their feet. There are other engines out there that get delayed ( e.g. , Shredder), perhaps because they t...
