Extensive beta testing by Eric and Stefan Akall. New coordinate training added. Updated eBoard drivers by Graham O'Neill.
Added
- New coordinate training: Unlike previous versions, this mode requires entering piece positions using the keyboard (coordinates only). There are 4 variations depending on the type and number of pieces/positions displayed. Once input begins, the board is cleared.
- Show Rating (NAG): Can be activated by right-clicking on the PGN table while viewing a game. Useful for game analysis, it displays the rating for each move directly on the board.
- Databases: When importing PGN files, users can now choose to remove comments and variations. This option is also available under Utilities/Remove Comments.
Fixed
- Kibitzer on a line did not work.
- Play option, problem where the application failed to start when using old configurations.
- STS with the +Board option was not functioning correctly.
- Databases, issue where changes made while editing a game in Databases were not saved if the edit window was closed using the "X" button.
- Problem with PGN reading when handling a large number of moves.
- 2.18a It crashes when trying to add new variants.
Updated
- eBoards (by Graham O'Neill): Many eBoard drivers now support the option to highlight the king's square when it is in check.
- Options/User Data folder: Displays the current user folder and allows access to it via the operating system's file explorer.
- Game analysis: A new parameter allows users to skip standard opening moves.
- Captures: A new button in the middle of the interface allows users to switch between "Differences" mode and "All Captures" mode.
