Description

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".

Thorick 56,
Great chess program
Some times hangs up but mostly it’s right on point playing the right ELO I’m 2300 and it’s like playing a real person. I really like you can go back and look at a variation in the game and play that out. When I let the computer play full strength it plays 2800 and kicks my &*&&. I really think it’s strongest in the end game at that point. I would Really wish they would dress up the game with new graphics pieces and 3D but I understand they just want to make money. It’s always about them making money. I’ll keep looking for another chess program but for now this works for me.

Excellent sparring partner
Strong enough to crush most humans but rating can be lowered to where you have a chance to win. The included Hiarcs opening book is a gem to learn openings. You can set up a position by playing through recommended opening moves then change to Hiarcs taking over white or black pieces which is an excellent way to practice openings. I make it play openings I hate playing against when playing humans so I get some good ideas from these games. The interface has not been changed much over the years and could be modernized to resemble the excellent Hiarcs for Mac program.
Jeai,
Amazing program
As a kid starting with Chessmaster, I started playing chess with my father, eager to get better. I started playing chess master as I got older. I couldn’t find a program to play chess like I used to until I came across this one and old man. This one is amazing because it has the chess rating system and adaption mode which keeps up with your chess rating you’re able to win, 50-50, and get better and better. This one gets five stars and possibly the best chess program on the iPad.

HIARCS
This by far is my favorite chess app. I now regret all the money I spend on all the others. The human like aspects are amazing. It stops to think and will on occasion make “not the best of moves”. Playing HIARCS is fun, enjoyable and a great learning experience. Keep up the good work.
Sn0kr45h,
Good Chess engine
I think HIARCS lives up to expectations. It’s not the strongest engine, but that’s not what I wanted. HIARCS plays chess good enough so I have a sparring partner to practice chess with.

One thing I like is that at my low rating level, the game feels pretty much like a human player. What do I mean by that? It doesn’t seem to make moves that are so blatantly bad that you are screaming at the engine, “why didn’t you take the piece I left hanging on accident?” HIARCS will make more subtle weak moves is my guess. If you hang a pawn or piece HIARCS will take it in my experience.

Anyway if you want a decent chess partner for you iPad and that goes nicely and plays as consistent as the Mac version then this is probably worth the money you pay.

One piece of advice if you’re planning to purchase this and the desktop version I’d recommend buying this first? Mine came with a discount off the HIARCS Chess Explorer and it stung a little when I found out I missed on a discount.

Not For The Handicapped (Hearing and Visual)
Sound - even at the Loud setting is ANEMIC, like a chirp on my iPad Pro at its loudest setting! My hearing loss finds me glance at the TERRIBLY LOCATED CLOCKS! The clocks cannot be located in a worse position. Far apart and small sizes too!

Did it move? I often find myself looking at its clock to determine that it moved! It cannot be much worse in both moving and signaling its last move! The best chess apps show an arrow between from/to squares, no hesitation in guessing the last chess app’s move.

If you have hearing and/or vision difficulties AVOID HIARCS (I have both handicaps). They forgot about the handicapped!
King Vagabond,
Missing one functionality
This app is very close to satisfy my needs except for one missing functionality. There are a million chess apps in App Store now but none of them is willing to be a pure and real chessboard. That is, I need a PUZZLE SOLVING MODE with NO moves and arrows shown. No hint and AI engine coaching available. This will force the learner to solve the puzzles. This is what I need.
_NM_,
Excellent engine but poor GUI
The engine is excellent and is a good sparring partner. However, the GUI implementation looks like something designed using MS FrontPage around the turn of the century. The chess clock settings are limited. If looking for the best GUI and ability to analyze games played, check out Chess Pro (Chess Tiger engine) Christophe Theron that is a weaker engine but strong enough and a much better overall chess app.
Great_App_I_Love_It,
Great program
Excellent chess program! Only problem is, I had already written this review some time back and the program continually asks me to rate it! Aaaarrrggghhh!
hot4hypatia,
Needs improvement
Not as intuitive to use as some. GUI pretty lame.
Can't adjust or turn off audio. Not clear how opening book upgrade is installed in ios, but Apple shares blame for that.
No reason to pay 9.99 to get pro version.
