Description:

HIARCS Chess is an acclaimed chess program with a history of winning multiple World Championships. It stands out as the only handheld chess program to have achieved victories in matches and tournaments against Grandmasters. The program proudly boasts two victories in the Mercusor Cup tournament in Buenos Aires, Argentina, outperforming Grandmasters with a remarkable performance rating surpassing 2900 Elo. This achievement holds the record for the highest chess performance rating achieved on any handheld device to date.

In 1997, Garry Kasparov, widely regarded as the strongest human chess player of all time, candidly praised HIARCS Chess by saying, "HIARCS is much better positionally than Deep Blue." Even Vishy Anand, a former World Chess Champion, acknowledged in a 2011 interview that he generally utilizes HIARCS for his chess analysis needs.

HIARCS Chess for iPad empowers users to enjoy the vast capabilities of this powerful chess program on their iPads. Whether you aspire to play chess like a super Grandmaster, analyze games and problems, or engage at various skill levels from beginners to Grandmasters, HIARCS provides a multitude of features designed to enhance your learning and improvement. The program includes an advanced set of coaching tools that cater to players of all strengths, allowing them to refine their chess skills.

HIARCS Chess offers a comprehensive range of opponent strengths and playing styles that accommodate both absolute beginners and accomplished Grandmasters. At lower difficulty levels, HIARCS replicates human-like mistakes suitable for the given level of play. This facet, coupled with integrated coach advice, assessments, and alerts, facilitates rapid learning and improvement. Additionally, HIARCS continually monitors your chess performance and assigns an Elo chess rating that effectively tracks your progress after each game. As you enhance your skills, the program dynamically adjusts its playing strength to provide challenging but surmountable opponents.

HIARCS Chess intelligently conserves battery life by consuming minimal energy on lower difficulty levels, thereby allowing extended gameplay during journeys and other instances where power preservation is critical.

The program supports the transfer of PGN game databases to and from HIARCS Chess, enabling seamless access to your preferred games. Additionally, HIARCS offers the flexibility of loading and saving your chess games in PGN format. Furthermore, it boasts databases featuring matches between legendary figures such as Fischer & Spassky and Kasparov & Karpov, offering users an opportunity to immerse themselves in these iconic showdowns.

HIARCS is equipped with an extensive tournament book that remains up to date with current chess theory, comprising over 235,000 variations. The book's moves are displayed on the screen using chess symbols, and opening variations are identified by name and ECO code.
