Andrew Lee (ID: 0000004b5bad72e2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/22/2023 Works very well but recently stopped working. I wish this would work as I paid for it.

icon

Pablo Javier (ID: 000000b840f449be) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/24/2023 There's some times where this accepts inputs such as Nxd4 and it simply goes Nd4, that shouldn't happen. If it says takes and there's nothing to take it should be ruled illegal

icon

Kilian F (ID: 00000087c45da185) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/06/2023 Worked perfectly, unfortunately it doesn't anymore. After typing a move on the keyborad and pressing enter, the notation doesnt disappear. For example I typ "Nf3" - *enter* -> moves but now "Nf3" is still in the input box. If I continue with Bc4 it says "Nf3Bc4" and obviously nothings happens.

오해성 (SsungYI) (ID: 0000001537820ad4) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/25/2023 Really cool app! but why not support premove?

icon

Даниил Кременский (ID: 000000cfaa83afa2) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/24/2023 You can try adding these: - Drawing multiple arrows / highlighting squares, sepearated by space or commas, e.g. "c6d4 g4 h2e5" - Allow premoving with it - Drawing with colors, by adding C/S/A (for Ctrl/Shift/Alt) at the start of it, e.g. "Se4e5 Cg4 Ah3e5"
