Isn't the new HCE db format only for the new HCP 15 version, whereas I'm on last year's version. So I thought that the format used was PGN, which is what I converted the MegaDB to. ...Sorry, I failed to notice you noted you were using HCE 14. The subsequent poster is correct. One of the big reasons...

Its my understanding that the size of the database is only limited to your available memory (looks like you have 24gb so that should not be a problem unless you were doing a lot of stuff in the background). What i am no sure if is if that limitation is only applicable to the HCE database format and/...

Ha! too simple, I was looking for a field, dialog or requester! I knew I must be missing something...thank you!

Hello all,

...I may be missing it but is there a way to import or copy-n-paste a FEN? I suspected if possible it would be in the Setup Position dialog...but not finding this ability.

Hiarcs is a very strong engine...there is no way I am beating it on anything close to top end playing ability. If you purchase it to beat other engines you are not going to be happy...but if you buy it to play against or as a supplemental analysis engine it is great! I have always appreciated HIARCS...

Hello Hiarcs team, In the Database view I noticed that the headers are not movable (for example if I wanted headers in the order Game #, White, Elo, Black, Elo and instead of "Event" which is next in line left to right, I wanted "ECO"...I can see no way to do that currently (it w...

I really like your ideas regarding elo progress, and especially like your tournament (with personalities) idea. That would be fun, useful and novel! I 2nd

I can't argue with that priority list. At some point when this version matures I hope you can fit something simple in (just to view board and submit move) if others request as well. Thanks!

Hello HIARCS Team, Sorry if it has been mentioned elsewhere and I did not notice, will you be adding a Correspondence Chess interface/features in particular for ICCF? ...and thanks for HIARCS Chess Explorer Pro, been very impressed with it and with communication here on the forum regarding bugs, que...

My preliminary idea is to design this in a way that can be started without any configuration but can be fine-tuned. The next update will be focused on bug fixes and minor improvements, so there is some time to discuss the design. I will post here when I have some details. This is very exciting to m...

Spring is about to be sprung, hoping Hiarcs is still on track for a spring 2016 release! ...any updates, hints...teases?

When viewing a game if you turn this option on it will hide all of the notation after the current move. With the moves hidden in the notation window you can now try and guess the games next move...if you are right it progresses to the next move...if you are wrong you get a pop-up telling you that it...

It is so simple but such a helpful feature for training. Brilliant addition to the product. ...it is also making it much more apparent why I am not a GM

Possibly Monday release of 1.8, that is exciting! ...willing to leak the change list?

To add, Chessbase also handles much larger databases and can handle them faster. Chessbase has a lot of special tools that not everyone uses such as XFCC for Correspondence players. It features a multimedia system so databases can be bundled with audio, video and text (think Chessbase trainers, CBM,...
