Hiarcs Chess Explorer Pro - Coming Soon! (Now Released)

Post by Harvey Williamson »

Some of the main features listed below. One thing you will really notice is how much faster the search in a database is compared to Chessbase and of corse it works on a Mac.

1. HCE database format offers huge databases only limited by memory - 1GB per 8 million games
2.Very fast searching for players, openings, events, material, pawn structure and positions
3.Comprehensive game database support (PGN, HCE, reads Chessbase CBH, CBV and EPD)
4. Export and publish your work, games and preparation to PGN, PDF, EPUB e-book and HTML
5.Automated repertoire summaries for databases and players. Player report with a single click
6.Access huge online opening books, view game trees, multiple books & Chessbase CTG books simultaneously
7. Analyse positions and games with multiple engines simultaneously with load management
8. Choose rating, time controls, start positions and openings and Chess960 for practice
9. Engine matches – set up and watch them play from books, test sets or analysis positions

Hi Harvey

Any idea when there will be Hiarcs 15 with preferably own nnue released. I am very much looking forward to that.
Databases there are so many out there, but Hiarcs 15 with latest nnue technology will be something else, and would gladly pay big bucks to obtain it.
Best Wishes and Happy New Year 2022 to you and the Hiarcs Team.

I may have it wrong, but seem to recall it was to be released by 12/31/21...everything ready but a 'server' error' of some sort holding things up (?). So, should be in the next day or so...

It's a database software, not a database. I couldn't care less about another engine, but a decent database software I care about very much.
