Until the mac gets houdini and chessbase, the platform will be considered second rate. Whats the point in getting a mac when you can't get the top programs for it.

I got Hiarcs Chess Explorer a few months ago, really enjoying it. Great chess s/w for the Mac, rivals Chessbase in mnay ways which I used for years. Just had another free update with a live games feature so now I can watch the candidate matches.
I purchased from the http://www.hiarcs.com website, no problems encountered, I received my download and license key immediately after purchase.
I'm from Mexico and bought my Hiarc Chess Explorer for Mac two months ago online, easy, fast and without a problem. Great software for Mac. I watched all the Candidates live online via URL.

If you go to Chessbomb.net and look at the nTCEC tournament you will see that Hiarc is 6th place out of 8 engines... not exactly awe enspiring.

Which is why most of the time I use the Stockfish engine for Analysis when using the HIARCS Chess Explorer UI (Or ChessX) . Yet I often find that the HIARCS engine has insights into the opening that seem to escape other engines. Whichever engine one uses it is a good idea to test them with other engines and also to go deeply into the analysis.
Danny, could you give an update on whether you found the mac experience/resources to be adequate for your chess needs as a competitive titled player? I am considering Mac vs pc for my next computer. Thanks.
Do you want something overpriced or something that is more compatible with everything not apple related and worth the money?

So, a bunch of time has passed since this thread was last active.
I see loads of recommendations for HIARCS for Mac. Now that it is 2018, do people still recommend it?
I've jumped on the website and feel like I have been whisked in a time-machine back to 1999... and this kind of undermined my confidence in the product.
Would love any feedback/updates/thoughts from folks.
I've been trialling a few different things and am a bit loathe to go down the VMware > Windows > ChessBase path, so I'm super hopeful about HIARCS.
