CBase Chess 2.0 - iOS Chess Database App

I just released an update to my iOS chess database app, CBase Chess.  It was the first app in the store that supported variations in PGN databases.  I've rewritten it to be a universal binary and have a better user interface - I wrote up a Chess.com blog about it to summarize some of the new features.  If anybody is already a user of it, or if you're looking for a PGN database reader, please download it from the app store - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cbase-chess/id386254532

If anybody has any comments about it, I'd love to hear them here.  I'm roadmapping new features based on user feedback, and I think the feedback from Chess.com iPhone/iPad users is especially important.

I created a game with an illegal move using Chess Score Pad (my app).  I emailed the game and was able to import it in CBase (on my iPad) up to the illegal move.  This is a big improvement over other apps that simply do not import any moves and do not give any messages.  

Per USCF rule 11B, “If it is found that an illegal move was made prior to each players last 10 moves, the illegal move shall stand in the game shall continue.”

So shouldn’t PGN database apps import games with illegal moves?  I know the PGN “standard” does not allow illegal moves, but since USCF games can have illegal moves, why not?

This is not criticism or a feature request, but a topic for the forum for discussion.

Nice app!  Thanks!

Very nice app. Is there a way to merge imported databases?

Thanks! There's no way to merge in this app, but I'll definitely keep it in mind as a potential feature.

Great app, it would be nice, if the actual move is highlighted. More colors and pieces. And the pieces in the app on the iPad are pixelated. 

I would like to have a software which can:

- run an engine and show the best 2-3 moves in the actual position

- add variations to the game

- add comments to the moves

It is which most of the windows programs can do like, chessbase, fritz, schredder, arena

Do you know a program like that for iPad?

I don't know of one that currently exists with that feature set, though that certainly seems like the holy grail of serious chess apps for iOS.

A wonderful product.  For me everything is perfect except for the fact

that I can't tell sometimes where the current move is. A blinking cursor

or perhaps a dark color pointing to the current move is probably good.

Again as I said the product is very well made already.

I am not sure
