Annotations and Variations

My first app has just been released on the App Store.  It offers easy ways to load PGN databases and supports text annotations as well as variations.  It's absolutely free, so there's no reason to not try it if you've been looking for a PGN viewer that supports variations and annotations!

CBase Chess 1.0

CBase Chess is a free PGN database viewer. Cbase Chess supports PGN standards whichs makes bringing your databases from your chess software at home to your iPhone or iPod touch easy!

Features:

• *Games with variations! Supports RAV (Recursive Annotation Variations) for as many variations as your game holds.
• *Games with commentary annotations.
• *Opens PGN files from the web! Registers as a PGN reader so you can open your files from a website, or from apps which support document forwarding like Dropbox!
• *iTunes document support. Add new databases via iTunes.
• *Player search.

Hey, that's pretty sweet...  I tried it out & it looks great.  Can't wait to get some PGN dbs into Dropbox tomorrow and really get into it.

Thanks very much!

The app looks great but where do I find info on how to add pgn files?

Great! Thank you!

Looks great, really useful!  Any chance of adding an ECO code browser?  I mostly want to browse through games with my openings. I suppose I could create separate pgns for every opening I'm interested in, but it would be brilliant to have it in the app.

Also, is there an easy way of marking the moves that are annotated, perhaps with a star?

Good ideas cdir.  I'd like to add some extensive opening support, but that development will definitely take some time.  I also plan on making the game text printout be more user friendly - marking where an annotation occurs is definitely one thing I would like to do.

Ooh, extensive opening support sounds brilliant, I was just thinking of adding the ability to get a list of C37 games.
