HIARCS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

HIARCS is a commercial computer chess program developed by Mark Uniacke. It stands for Higher Intelligence Auto Response Chess System. Hiarcs 10 with the Hypermodern setting placed second on the SSDF rating list for June 8, 2006, with a rating of 2856. [1]

The strength of the program comes not so much from its search speed, but from the amount of chess knowledge its author has implemented on it[citation needed].

In January 2003 HIARCS played a four game match of chess against grandmaster Evgeny Bareev, the world's number 8 at the time. All the four games were draws ending the match in a tie.
