Did HIARCS 10 (or lower) improve your Chess?

In My Humble Opinion
1

I just bought the 10th edition, haven’t got it yet, and was wondering how others felt about it.

I was going to take Steve Lopez’s advice (for patzers) to buy the latest ChessMaster, but then I checked out the reviews of various places throughout the web. Not good. See for example

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00023XXMM/qid%3D1143304814/sr%3D11-1/ref%3Dsr_11_1/102-1236051-9155302

if you go there and scroll down to the reviews, the news ain’t good. In addition to the other troubles, you must even have the cd in the drive to play it.

I wonder if Glee recommends HIARCS

I think I reviewed Hiarcs 1 :eek:

I’m not sure what you want from a chess program. Improving at chess involves plenty of practice and some post-game analysis. There aren’t any short cuts.

Who will argue that?

Thanks, anyway.
