HIARCS is the chess program generally used by five time World Chess Champion Vishy Anand.
Our new HIARCS Chess Explorer application is an intuitive and powerful graphical user interface offering world class chess database, analysis and playing software for Mac chess players and PC chess players. Our October 2020 applications support all macOS versions since 10.10 including the latest macOS Big Sur Intel and Apple M1 Silicon and Windows 7, 8 & 10 (all editions).

Since OS X 10.2 Apple has included a Chess game by default on your Mac. The current version allows you to play against the computer with varying difficultly levels, play against another person, and even play online. You can change the look of the 3D board, hear moves and even speak to make a move. You can also save and resume games. Chess Online offers unlimited online rooms for chess players from all over the world to enjoin the favourite classic board game. Connecting with other players from iOS, Android and Mac OS platform, you can have fun with chatting, betting money, watching realtime feature. . Using AppCleaner removes everything BUT the app itself. This is troubling since starting Chess also enables the mac's microphone! Had I not had a utility monitoring the mic, I would not have known someone might be listening. The main point, however, is this is useless (for me) software and I should be able to remove it. Of course, when speaking of chess apps, we must start with the one and only chess.com app. Chess.com is the leading chess website and one of the best chess experiences on the internet. Chess.com has many tools not only for playing, but to help you learn so that you can play better!
HIARCS is renowned for its high quality, human like chess play, realistic weaker levels and chess performances from handheld devices to multi-core laptop and desktop computers. You can purchase the latest HIARCS Chess Explorer, opening books and Deep Junior chess software direct from the developers only on this website.
