HIARCS is a multiple World Championship winning chess program and the only handheld chess program which has won matches and tournaments with Grandmasters. It twice won the Mercusor Cup tournament in Buenos Aires, Argentina ahead of Grandmasters, the last time with a performance beyond 2900 Elo, the best chess performance rating for any handheld device in history. In 1997 the World's strongest ever human chess player, Garry Kasparov, said "HIARCS is much better positionally than Deep Blue" and ex World champion, Vishy Anand, in a recent 2011 interview when asked what chess program he uses to analyse with said "generally I use HIARCS". HIARCS Chess for iPad harnesses this chess power to enable your iPad to play chess like a super Grandmaster, analyse games and chess problems with you, or play at whatever weakened chess strength you want from beginner to GM strength while offering numerous features to help you learn and improve as you play with HIARCS.

Love this app! I’ve tried a lot of chess apps but this one is outstanding. My level is beginner and it’s so fun to be challenged by this application.

Great app, but has some small issue - board coordinates is not shown when dark mode is enabled. Is it possible to fix it? Also would be nice to add some puzzle mode to auto-play pgn files with puzzles and alert about wrong moves. Anyway, it still best app to play with human-like style.

Il programma più’ piacevole con cui ho giocato finora. Purtroppo è successo nel bel mezzo di una partita che il programma ha terminato l’ esecuzione. Meritera’ 5 stelle quando questi problemi verranno risolti.

I like the feature of adjusting one’s rating after each game, and the way it’s able to connect with millennium chessboards.

Die App wird beworben mit der Spielmöglichkeit „interactive replay“. Darunter verstehe ich, dass man die Züge für eine Seite eingibt und das Programm die Antwortzüge der anderen Seite aus der jeweils aktiven PGN-Partie spielt, sofern man den richtigen Zug eingibt. Damit kann man Meisterpartien „Guess the move“ nachspielen oder Eröffnungsvarianten und taktische Motive durch Wiederholung rekapitulieren. Mehrfache Anfragen bei den Machern des Programms, mir den Zugang zu dieser Spielmöglichkeit zu zeigen, blieben ohne Antwort. Deshalb nur drei Sterne.

Can you remove dark mode or include a button to disable it cause I can’t see the chess position as the dark mode had hidden it. I brought iPhone version first, then brought iPad version thinking iPad version can see but both can’t.

Ich habe HIARCS wegen der guten Anbindung an eBoards ausgewählt. Außerdem bin ich von der Spielweise begeistert. Mit den Engine-Einstellungen „Aktiv“ und „Überraschend“ ist das Spiel schön abwechslungsreich und herausfordernd. Und es passt sich meiner Spielstärke sehr gut an, sodass ich trotzdem immer eine Chance habe. Es macht mir von allen Engines, die ich probiert habe, am meisten Spaß. (Nur das Icon der App ist wie aus der Zeit gefallen. Da würde ich dringend ein neues Design empfehlen.)
