According to the developer, their latest creation offers a lot of new features:


  • New data format: fewer files, more functions, more comfort, more speed.

  • Engine analysis renovated: Variants are automatically verbally annotated, forced continuations are recognized, “buddy heuristics” for greater search depth!

  • Pearl search: Find spectacular games instantly! Beautiful games are marked in the database list.

  • Optimized program interface: high-resolution 2D board, faster graphics.

  • New clearer search mask: material & positional searches simplified, immediate feedback on expected results.

  • Intelligent position input: when setting up pieces, you are shown the games where those positions occur.

  • Dozens of detail improvements for improved usability, e.g. automatic loading of the last edited game.

  • Control via One-Drive: all database paths can be set in the options dialogue.

  • Newly structured game notation: with intelligent folding and symbols.

  • Modern integrated browser for all database texts.

  • More insight: Visualization of attack correlations (optional).

  • Dark Mode: darkened program interface.
