Chess education project started on pbchess.vlasovsoft.net: http://pbchess.vlasovsoft.net/en/content.html
pbchess - 1.2.2.1 released!
This version - a huge leap forward compared to 1.2.1.4.
What's new:
1. Added support for comments and variations. A comfortable view of the games with comments and variations! (Examples of games in PGN-format will soon appear on my site), screenshots - here.
2. A dialog will customize the appearance of a large number of settings (display coordinates boards, borders, header, etc.);
3. Opportunity to enter "My name" in the settings;
4. Support for problems with a fixed solution allows you to create and solve a large number of tactical puzzles with the local goal (e.g. to capture a piece).
5. Support for chess books in PGN-format. At present there is a translation of A. Nimzovich, "My System" in PGN-format (in Russian). This book will be very useful for beginners chess.
6. User manual is updated.
All the puzzles that are supported by version 1.2.1.4, and supported by this release. Starting with this version of the problem will be posted separately on the site and will not be included in the install.
All available data for the software (games with comments, problems, the book) will be posted on my website soon!
Need help with preparing content for pbchess (puzzles, commented games, books in PGN format).
For those who helped this program will be free.
Hey,
I tried pbchess out on my Kindle 3g UK and it works great. At least so far. It needs activation to work for longer than 5 minutes but it seems worth it so I bought it.
(edit) Just got activation code - nice chess program. I'm very impressed.
Now I hope that chess.com makes a kindle app or makes the website kindle friendly so I can play on-line without having to struggle with my small phone screen or boot my PC.
