Subject: Palm Chess HIARCS 9.5 now available

The clear strongest PDA chess software has been updated: Palm Chess HIARCS 9.5, is
now available on the Hiarcs website: http://www.hiarcs.com

As usual this is a FREE update for registered customers. It is also free to download
and use in unregistered form with limited features.

Palm HIARCS is now suitable for all players from absolute beginners to strong
Grandmasters (750 Elo - 2600+ Elo). Figures would be even higher on the USCF scale.

Key features:
+ At least 200 Elo stronger than *ANY* other Palm chess software and way stronger
than ALL Pocket PC chess software (95 Elo stronger than Pocket PC Fritz 2)
+ Numerous beginner and intermediate levels offering a challenging learning
experience for all players.
+ Built in coach teaches moves and watches over your games to point out mistakes and
offer hints/advice. Even post game the coach can find errors and show where a
mistake was made.
+ Built in Elo/BCF monitor rates your play and measures your progress.
+ Interfaces with desktop software like Chessbase through PGN format import and
export (single game).
+ Unlimited levels and time controls including Casual, Blitz, Active, Fischer and
Tournament.
+ Analysis capabilities for the serious players including Next Best moves.
+ Detailed Engine room to customise HIARCS playing style, learning and much more.
+ Numerous free large opening books with the latest theory helping opening study and
preparation.
+ High resolution, colour graphics with 2D/3D effect chess piece styles and multiple
board sizes.
+ Supports Palm OS 3.5 or later, 160x160, 320x320 HiRes and Sony HiRes screen
resolutions, and comes with 68K and ARM engines.


This Palm HIARCS 9.5 update contains the following improvements:
1) Set Elo levels 1350 Elo to 2000 Elo inclusive catering for players of
intermediate strength. Palm HIARCS now offers opponents from absolute beginner (750
Elo) to Strong Grandmaster (2600 Elo). Fast ARM based hardware is required for GM
strength.

2) Chess coaching has now been extended to support ALL levels including the weaker
instant sparring levels.

3) Move Hints are now almost always available (except in analysis mode where the
best variations are displayed instead). So for example if you are playing on one of
the weaker instant sparring levels you can now ask for move hints.

4) Some piece graphics have been improved in multiple board views. In particular the
knights in both Classic and Challenger piece styles have been enhanced. Thanks to
Bryan Whitby for the new Challenger knight.

5) There is now a separate indicator that the board has been flipped.

6) A number of other improvements to areas such as clocks, typewriter input, book
move display etc.

Best wishes,

Dear Sir,

Two questions before buying your software :

What about next updates (namely PGN large databases import with a tool for
normal users like me - I am not familiar with linux -)?

Are you going to developp a French version ?

Many Thanks for your quick answer

Antoine
