What's New in Chess

4.4.3

December 19, 2024

- IN THIS RELEASE (4.4.3) • The new blindfold training mode has been introduced: this time, the user tries to replay a game as White or Black without seeing the chessboard. The application provides a list of possible moves, and the user must select the move played in the game. • Fixed some issues with Voice Over. • Chess Studio Database (Premium Subscription): minor bug fixes and improvements. • Minor bug fixes, general improvements and optimizations. - MAIN FEATURES INTRODUCED IN THE LATEST RELEASES • Chess Studio is enhanced with a new feature: the ability to browse an Online Database of games organized by Year and Tournament since 1560. This extensive Online Database will be updated daily with new tournaments and games. Access to this database requires a symbolic Premium subscription. • The new version of the Stockfish 17 engine with Neural Network (NNUE) support has been integrated. According to the authors, this version brings a gain of up to 46 ELO points and an increase in speed. Compared to version 14, this version can analyze games 6 times faster. • A new training feature has been added: the user can load a game from a database and decide whether to move for White or Black without seeing the moves to evaluate his skills. At the end a report will be produced that traces the entire training session. It is possible to use this functionality either by choosing the game to train with or by letting the application decide the game in random mode. To use this functionality, some settings are possible via an appropriate interface. There are various ways to access this functionality, for example from the menu at the top center of the chessboard screen. In future versions of the application this training mode will be expanded and enhanced. • Chess Studio can now read databases in ChessBase format. It can import cbh, cbp, cbt, cbg, cba, cbs and cbc formats, thus it is able to interpret not only the moves of a game but also the variations and comments. • A new section dedicated to training has been added. At the moment it is possible to solve a series of puzzles taken from games played mainly online. These are puzzles suitable for all players. There are currently 20,000 puzzles available but they will be continuously updated. Other types of puzzles of increasing difficulty will be included in the future. • Possibility of playing online using the Lichess platform. For blind or visually impaired players this feature is fully supported by Voice Over. • Automatic insertion of engine analysis into games. To enter the analysis, simply touch the engine analysis line. To use this feature you need to activate it in the application settings. • The new function "Search games by material" has been added, through which it is possible to search for games in a database according to the material present on the chessboard. This new functionality is accessed from the main menu of the application. • In the Chess Board screen, you can customize the colors of the top bar, bottom bar, buttons and background. The customization is done in the Settings section. In the opening section is the new functionality to explore the Lichess Master Opening Tree. It is now possible to activate the speech synthesizer to announce the moves made both when entering and when viewing a game. • From the opening section of a database it is possible to save the games relating to a single ECO code or to a single opening variant in a new database. To do this, just swipe left on the opening variant you want to save and follow the directions. • Enhancement and simplification of the management of Graphic Annotations. This functionality can now be accessed via a single menu or via a series of taps on the board (see the short tutorial in the application). • Contact me at chess.studio.app@gmail.com to organize a Skype session.

Reviews of Chess

Simply brilliant!

Outstanding app for database management, training, analysis, building a repertoire or just having a quick game with Stockfish. Not a big learning curve, and if you’re familiar with chess database programs this should all be pretty easy to get around.

Links directly to PGN Mentor & The Week In Chess for access to literally millions of games to build a database with, and you can import your own. Easy navigation of bases (player, year, event, ECO or combinations of those & other parameters) & a boat-load of various analysis & search functions including endgame tablebases. Also ability to create custom opening books for stockfish to use from databases is a big plus!

If you’re serious about chess, or want an easy to use, stable program for OTB prep, this is probably all you’ll ever need. Highly recommended.
