I think I'd rather be "avatarless."

I like the current chess pieces for Glaurung, my favourite are the USCF, and out of the 4 options I only have that I can't see my self ever using. I have PAID for other chess apps on Ipod and been dissapointed at the quality of the appearance. Thanks, I'm glad at least some people are satisfied wit...

It is not ridiculous if anyone can set up a match i will gladly bet £1000 that Hiarcs, on an iPhone 4, would win over say a minimum of 6 games. I would even guess that Hiarcs will not lose any games. If Hiarcs 13.xx on the iphone 4 is so strong then why doesn’t Chessbase or Applied Computer Concept...

I must get my daughters ipod 2nd gen to install the new Glaurung 2.1, just noticed in some games of Glaurung 2 that it would exit when close to a loss (ie forced mate) is this bug fixed in new version? I hope so, but I really don't know. That particular bug never occured on my phone, so I have no w...

Great! Thanks Harvey.

Ever since I upgraded to the latest iPhone OS on my 3Gs, the Hiarcs display has been messed up. The color of the squares where the pieces are have turned pink. Anyone else having display problems?? Thanks!

:D Hi Monsieur Plastique, Hey, sounds great. ok. will check it out. HIARCS iPhone Chess 12.1 Thanks for the info/link. :wink: Hi Maria, Pocket Fritz 4 is actually specifically designed to work on the Windows Mobile platform, so I am not aware of a way to make it work on an iPod Touch. However, the ...

I want to time Hiarcs for iPhone in various positions for testing. Is there a way to get the clock to start in analysis mode, which would make it easier to time?

Just downloaded it. I may have been the first to get it off the app store...

Wow, that is nice!

Any opinions of how this compares to the caissa.us app? jb I have Caissa also. Even on the highest level, Caissa only thinks for a couple seconds whereas Chess Genius has many longer levels for games plus an infinite analysis level. Chess Genius certainly seems stronger but I haven't done any real ...

I got it a few hours ago and it does seem nice. The website estimates 2500 elo! (Not that I need that level of strength, though...)

Just curious Steve, but what dedicated chess computers did you own and use before you realized that you were a collector? Any rare ones?

Having grew up with Boris, the modular game systems, ARB, and the diplomat, I remember the machines quite well( As a young boy, I even modeled with Boris in magazine ads). Though my parents never played chess themselves, they always wanted their machines to be the smartest, most advanced and most c...
