Some engines see what others miss, even if they're ranked below the other one.Īll in all I can say that it's a very good alternative to windowsing your mac to death, in order to install chessbase.

For that I'd advise you to use windows and some fritz program, with as many engines to compare as possible. You gotta give the engine impulses, ideas, analyze whether certain suggestions of the engine are indeed a good idea or whether the machine is missing even some praxis-relevant drawbacks.Ĭorrespondence chess is a different chapter. I mean, I'm not letting the engine ponder over a certain position for hours I did that a couple of years ago, but now I find it ridiculous. In case I need it, I can still use Stockfish to analyse positions where I've got the feeling ultimate precision is mandatory, yet I doubt that there are praxis-relevant differences for otb play. I don't need the strongest engine in the world a human-like play is indeed helpful, and the Hiarcs multicore version is strong enough for me. I'm allergic to that and like being able to work on my variations properly and being able to save them. Also, I remember (at least for SCID), that they both have horrible graphics. The reasons scuffi listed against Chessx and SCID are pretty crucial. I just can't think of anything I can not do with Hiarcs, which is a good thing. Therefore I need a reliable and functional database as well as a good engine and the option of handling information well and quickly, meaning to be able to transfer my games/ideas quickly to other people (HIARCS works with pgn, so that is definitely possible also pasting the notation (in English): you've got it immediately in your note-window through copy and paste and can play through it) and being able to annotate them with arrows, colors and verbalĪs a former chessbase user, it took me a little time to adapt, but then it worked out fine. I need a chessprogram in order to work on variations and ideas. Let me boil things down to the points which were most important to me: I don't really have the time to write a proper review:

So there are a lot of things that can be improved by chess explorer over the free alternatives. one of the best database/analysis tools there is it does _not_ support its very own database format which makes it hard to use for huge databases (PGN = long loading times and no file compression) Sadly I don't know exactly what the HIARCS Chess Explorer GUI can do, in comparison to the following free chess-software: But it's not as strong as Stockfish, so maybe not the first choice when it comes to game analysis. HIARCS: some say they love this engine for its "human-like" style of play and for the credible artificial strength limitation option. #7 there are some good reasons for and against HIARCS as well as for chessX/SCID
