Congratulations for your work. I appreciate the way the program works directly with the PGN format, also the game analysis with text comments and classification of quality of play. About the PGN would be conveniente to show the extra tags, because I have many games with annotations and need to see name of annotator in extra tag annotator. About the classification of quality of play would be relevante to show the average of centipawns lost per move, to be able to compare the quality of play in different games, since we know longer games tend to sum more centipawns lost than shorter games.
Nimzo 3d Chess GUI for Windows
Sort:
Previously, I have posted links for the Nimzo_3d Chess GUI program
which is an enhanced version of the Tarrasch chess GUI with additional features.
I have added the following features to the latest release
of the Nimzo_3d Chess GUI (version )
Media player for playing and making chess videos
with one demonstration video
Evaluation profile window
Automatic creation of Polyglot .bin opening books
Opening book training feature
Comprehensive compiled help file, Nimzo_3d.chm
Five additional 2d piece sets and
eleven additional 3d piece sets
Score counter for chess quiz games in PDF files
Coloured square highlights and arrows
Automatic game replay function
General search function for Tarrasch databases
Fast search function for PGN databases
Rated game feature for playing against weakened engines
Move delay option to slow down engines that move too fast
Capability to adjust and use all engine parameters
The program downloads are now quite large, 550 - 570 Mb
because of the < UCI_LimitStrength > engines for the < Rated game >
feature and the 3d piece sets.
The program can be downloaded from the following links -

https://drive.proton.me/urls/6Z9VHY1EA0#QaySk8e0jYZS
For those users for whom English is not their first language
there is now a multi-lingual version with support for 40 languages -

https://drive.proton.me/urls/6R8JG89B1W#P0jjBH6QIkjf
The program is now 64-bit, but 32-bit versions are still available
for download from the Nimzo_3d websites -
There is a large database Caissabase2025 in Tarrasch/Nimzo_3d format
with million games available for download (370 Mb) from -
https://www.mediafire.com/file/0ke2wgo3bdpb5e8/CaissaBase2025.7z/file
For any brave soul that wants to try to add more features to the program
there is a download with Visual Studio project files, source code and
instructions on how to build the wxWidgets libraries used in the program.
It is set up with the same directory structure that I use when
writing the program. It is available at the following links -

I did have a look at adding an annotator field to the PGN files,
but could not figure out how to do it.
That part of the code was part of the original Tarrasch GUI
written by Bill Forster.

Dear Nimzo_3d users,
It has been brought to my attention
in a post on the Chessable forum by Ladyhawke79 and
by Ponti and Jonathan003 on the Talk Chess forum
that the Wasp 550 engine in the rated engines that
was cotained in the Nimzo_3d installation package
may have a virus.
When checked on Virus Total it gets a count
of 36/68 so that makes it very suspicious.
The other Wasp engines contained in the package
get the following counts -
Wasp360-x32 1/66
Wasp360-x64 0/71
Wasp450-x32 0/69
Wasp450-x64 1/68
Wasp700-avx 0/71
If only 1 virus checker flags a virus,
I think that can be discounted as a false positive.
I downloaded and checked some other versions of the Wasp 550
and Wasp550-ancient gets a count of 24/72
but curiously Wasp550-avx comes up totally clean with 0/70
Anyway, I would recommend deleting the Wasp 550 engine
from the directory :-
C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Nimzo_3d\rated_engines\Wasp
Users who are ultra-cautious may want to delete
the entire Wasp engine directory.
I would add that when I made the installation packages
I did check all of the files with Avast free anti-virus
and all of the files came up clean, as did the installer
when I checked that on Virus Total.
However, when I tried to load the Wasp 550 engine into Nimzo_3d,
Avast free anti-virus flags it as having a possible virus.
If I remember correctly, I only loaded the first engine in each
of the engine directories to see if it worked ok
and then assumed that the rest would as well.
Clearly, this was a mistake and I have now checked them all.
My apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Dear Nimzo_3d users,
I have now rebuilt all of the Nimzo_3d installers
without the Wasp engines.
All of the previous download links for the program
point to the newly rebuilt version.
.
Dear Nimzo_3d users,
I have discovered a minor bug in the
Nimzo_3d Chess GUI version
If you are in the 2d screen and are adding annotations
to a game in the move list box and press the < u > key,
the character is not displayed.
This does not happen with the < Shift > key down,
not with any other characters and not in the 3d screen.
It also did not happen in previous versions
of the program.
I have not been able to discover the underlying cause
of this problem, so I have coded a work-around solution.
I have created a new version of the program 2 and all
previous links point to this version for a full installation.
However, the only file which is changed is the
Nimzo_3d.exe file, so I have created an update package
to install only a new version of this file.
The package contains updates for all versions,
English language only and multi-lingual, 32-bit and 64-bit.
It is is 32 Megabytes in size and can be downloaded from this link -
https://www.mediafire.com/file/6mcol35jjo09q1x/Nimzo_3d_updates_4_02.7z/file
In this update there are also small improvements
to the Berlin, Leipzig and Merida 2d piece sets,
which now are more sharply defined around their edges.
In addition, the < Window stays on top > option
is now saved and restored.
Dear Nimzo_3d users,
I have added a new feature for a 2d full screen view.
This allows you to have a larger chess board.
You may find it useful for games against an engine.
Previous links for the program now point to the
new version
I have also made some updates of various versions for exiting users,
which can be downloaded from the following links -
English language version 64-bit Size - 21 Mb

Here is a screen shot to help you to decide if you want the new feature
Dear Nimzo_3d users,
I have added some more features to the full screen layout.
There is now an optional engine analysis window
with an optional toolbar.
The full screen window layout is now saved and restored.
The opening training feature can now be used in full screen mode,
in the same limited way as in 3d graphics mode.
There were a couple of minor bugs in the switch to and from
full screen mode which I have fixed.
There is also an < Adjourn game > feature so that
you can save and restore games with their clock times.
This is accessed from < Main menu > < Games >
Previous links for the program now point to the
