Added
- New coordinate training: Unlike previous versions, this mode requires entering piece positions using the keyboard (coordinates only). There are 4 variations depending on the type and number of pieces/positions displayed. Once input begins, the board is cleared.
- Show Rating (NAG): Can be activated by right-clicking on the PGN table while viewing a game. Useful for game analysis, it displays the rating for each move directly on the board.
- Databases: When importing PGN files, users can now choose to remove comments and variations. This option is also available under Utilities/Remove Comments.
Fixed
