Version5.0
We are excited to announce the release of our latest version, packed with new features that will enhance your chess experience.
One of the most significant changes in this version is the introduction of a new database format, SCID5, that allows you to store up to 4 billion games. With this new format you can, for example, import and study the games of your friends from database.lichess.org and use that knowledge to easily beat them :-).
The new engine window allows to easily add and configure chess engines, making it simple to test different engines. Utilize the full power of your CPUs and GPUs to get the most accurate analysis. With the new evaluation bar and the best move arrow you'll have all the tools you need.
This version also includes support for Chess960. Now, you can view and analyze games in this variant and use it to improve your chess skills. To search for Chess960 games, simply type "variant 960" in the Awesome Bar.
The dark theme has been refined and it is now the default. It's easier on the eyes and perfect for late-night studying sessions.
It is now possible to directly modify games without having to convert the PGN files. Additionally, new line characters in comments are not removed or added, preserving the formatting chosen by the user.
We hope you enjoy these new features and that they will help you to improve your chess skills. Happy chess!
