Which is better deep hiarcs chess explorer 2019 / houdini 6 pro aquarium 2019 / chess king diamond pro 2018 ?

There are lots of people using Houdini 3 Pro x64 in my country. It has features such as blunder check, threshold, etc which I need to use.

I'm using Mac OS Mojave here. Could someone give advice what is the best software for me?

Thanks in advance.

On a mac Deep HIARCS is best choice. It comes with a nice and quite simple GUI, offering a chance to install a variety of free UCI engines (Stockfish etc.).

Houdini is not compiled for MacOS (yet), it needs to be hacked to work on a mac (via some kind of virtual enviroment like Vine, VMware etc.). After a painful instalation it wil remain a pain in the butt in everyday use.

As I understand it, the Komodo vendor is offering a mac version for download, but I believe the engine is not compiled for mac, but simply wrapped in some kind of compatibility layer.

I could be wrong, though, it's a while since I touched it ...

@ifekali But Deep Hiarcs doesn't have blunder check. I wanna put all move then check blunder move.

Also it doesn't have a scoring move. For instance, If the move bad which means not control the territory or make the position worst then it will get minus score. Some moves could be great which offer +20 score means the move is very strong.

 

And last but not least it can't show the best next move like stockfish does.

 

How about fritz 16, is that far better than deep hiarcs?

It's ok if I need to run it on windows. I'll just use a bootcamp.
