Hi,

Anyone got any impressions of HIARCS 13 - what's the playing style like?

Can one say it is more tactical or strategic than HIARCS 12 ?

The Set ELO levels - have they changed in characteristics?


Thanks in advance,
Mark

HIARCS in Java - probably less than 0 percent chance of this.

Mark and team are too busy woking on HIARCS 13, a welcome update to Iphone HIARCS, etc

do you think the new APPS business has any advantage to the customers ? it is mainly a better concept to make more money for the companies... Well I think there are some amazing apps for the Touch (Iphone), very cheap (too cheap?) and many of very high quality (e.g. Star Walk, The Guardian) that I ...

Be happy - Shredder for Touch and Iphone is an excellent product, very strong and great ELO levels ..

I'm facing a similar problem with Shredder (v 1.2.1 that uses the Shredder 12 engine) on the Ipod Touch. The Shredder App is very good, - although curiously I find that winning against Shredder on the Touch seems much easier than against Palm HIARCS 12 when they are set to the same ELO LEVEL. I play...

Does anyone still buy Microsoft Pocket PCs (rather than Iphone, Blackberry, Android, ...) ?

I thought these things were going extinct faster than George W. Bush supporters

Although I'm a big fan of HIARCs (Palm) for many years, don't forget Shredder. Shredder (12) also plays a very human style game in my opinion. In addition, its set ELO levels seem very well implemented - with natural type mistakes being played (the set ELO levels are the most important feature for n...

Many thanks for continuing to support the Palm platform !!

Just out of interest, I wonder what changes were made to the set Elo levels ?

Great news indeed !

Hello Palm Hiarcs chess friends, And i read in a thread that the "Elo level handicap" would be less reliable in Hiarcs 12 Pro (too strong) than in Hiarcs 9.6 and 9.7 ? Is it true or fake please ? Eric Where did you read this out of interest ? If I understand your question - my personal im...

Hi,

Has anyone noticed a difference in playing style between HIARCS Palm 9.7 and 12.1 ?
I tend to think of 9.7 as more tactical (default) rather than 'safe' in nature.

Anyone used the branching facilities of 12.1 - how do these work ?

Regards,

I have a HTC Touch phone and tried it out last night. Hiarcs works fine and I'm going to buy it even though I've got Fritz3 ... why? because of adjustable ELO levels. As far as I know nothing plays as well as Hiarcs on lower levels (ie. in a believable human fashion) and to my mind this is way more...

Yes, I agree, it does seem a little unfair to chessbase owners ..

A question regarding HIARCS 9.6 on Palm: Can I change some of the 'Engine Room' attributes (e.g. Playing Style: Normal, Aggressive or Solid ; Avoid Draws; etc) when I have selected either an Instant Sparring or Set ELO level? If they can be changed, would they then effect the estimated ELO for these...
