HIARCS Chess Forums

Personally, I prefer to wait for a release with very few bugs. Hiarcs compares very favourably with other software.

Thanks Wheelman - very nice!

That makes sense!

Would that be more than 2 plies rather than 1? e.g. Kaganskiy - Blokhin after 45.Bxc5 h4

Ignore colours doesn't seem to work.

Hi It looks like the find position using material search is missing games. Looking for a white king 4 pawns and a bishop vs black king 4 pawns and a knight in TWIC1458 finds 25 games with or without ignore colours, bishops any colour. In Chessbase 16, 37 games found without ignore colours, 82 with. ...

Agree it would be better if there was not the irrelevant bluetooth nag on starting.

The good news is that you can open multiple trees - in the windows version you use shift with a click on the tree button on the toolbar at the top. Not sure why this isn't documented, considering it is such an important feature - it took me some months to stumble across it!

WIth regard to engine analysis length, one option might be to extend the variation only as far as the variation move is better than alternative moves (one could suggest a small delta). I think this would give qualitatively different output. This will take much more time. You will need to analyse ea...

Wow! I've been using Hiarcs Pro for a month now and I didn't know you could get multiple books or trees in a tab using shift - that's really useful!

Have you considered some way of displaying analysis scores on the board (e.g. as in attached image of the Nibbler interface for Lc0)? It is quite handy as it allows one to focus on the board while making moves and running infinite analysis.

Thanks - not sure how I missed that!

Is it possible to search on CV flags in the quick search, i.e. filter games depending on whether they have variations and comments? thanks

I'd quite like to see an option for less verbose annotations in the analyse game function. When I review a game I'm not too interested in the name of the engine or long engine lines, which tend to drown the game moves in the notation. At present when I run analyse game in HCE Pro I remove the variat...

Anyway, we can change it - so no problem!

Just a heads-up about trying different fonts in Windows. I find the default font quite unattractive, with the figurines looking rather faint next to the chubby, bold algebraic notation text. However changing the font made the notation much more elegant and readable - in my case using Rockwell Nova L...
