Hiarcs 10

Hiarcs 10We have the new Hiarcs 10 in stock at the BCM Chess Shop!


The HIARCS program, written by Mark Uniacke of England, has been one of the world’s top programs ever since it won the microcomputer world chess championship in 1993. HIARCS stands for "Higher Intelligence Auto Response Chess System". And indeed the distinguishing feature is that the author, like no other, uses a maximum of chess knowledge to increase the playing strength of his program.

Hiarcs has long been renowned for its human-like playing style. Now Hiarcs 10 goes much further with improved chess knowledge, a more aggressive style and an ability to search deeply for the truth of a position. New chess knowledge enables Hiarcs 10 to identify deep attacking motifs long before they become apparent, especially concerning king attacks, and unbalanced positions and material. Hiarcs 10 often prefers initiative and attacking options over more materialistic concerns associated with traditional chess programs. Matched to this new chess knowledge, Hiarcs 10 searches much more deeply than its predecessor often enabling it to find new unexpected moves and ideas much faster. New enhancements mean that, while playing or analysing games, Hiarcs 10 is able to learn more about the positions and moves it sees and improve its chess strength in future games.This feature is essential for all chess players who analyse chess games, studies, positions and openings as it enables Hiarcs 10 to understand deep strategic or tactical ideas while analysing with you. With Hiarcs 10 you get an intelligent chess partner which actually learns and improves with you!
