Description:

HIARCS is a highly acclaimed chess program, having won multiple World Championships. It is also unique in that it is the only handheld chess program to have defeated Grandmasters in matches and tournaments. Notably, it has twice emerged victorious in the Mercusor Cup in Buenos Aires, Argentina, achieving an impressive performance rating of 2900 Elo, the highest ever recorded for any handheld device.

In 1997, Garry Kasparov, widely regarded as the strongest chess player of all time, remarked that "HIARCS is much superior positionally compared to Deep Blue," while the current World champion, Vishy Anand, recently expressed his preference for HIARCS as his go-to chess program for analysis purposes.

With HIARCS, your iPhone transforms into a powerful chess tool. You can play like a super Grandmaster, analyze games and chess problems alongside the program, or adjust the playing strength to cater to your desired skill level—ranging from beginner to Grandmaster. The wealth of features offered by HIARCS ensures a comprehensive learning and improvement experience for players of all levels.

HIARCS Chess incorporates a wide range of realistic opponent strengths and playing styles to accommodate players of diverse abilities. At lower difficulty levels, HIARCS simulates human-like mistakes commensurate with the level you choose. Combined with integrated coaching advice, assessments, and alerts, this enables rapid skill enhancement. The program even tracks your chess ability through an Elo rating system, adjusting its playing strength as you progress.

Moreover, HIARCS Chess optimizes battery life by conserving energy when operating at lower levels, granting you more playing time during extended journeys.

HIARCS Chess supports PGN chess game databases and features comprehensive collections of games between renowned players such as Fischer & Spassky and Kasparov & Karpov, allowing users to play through and enjoy these historic matches.
