The feature plans are: 1. Moves history, navigation, undo etc (for game analyzing); 2. Load/Save PGN file; 3. Support comments in the PNG file; 4. Support variations in the PGN file. #1 will be ready in a month, I think. #2 will be ready in the 1-2 weeks after #1. But it will be commercial version (5-10$).

Congrats - I think that the application is ready for commercial release but I sure hope that when you mean commercial you mean that it will be a suggested price/donation/contribution and not a "download for money only" thing. Also, what license to you release the application under. So far the code is on sourceforge, will you keep it there or do you plan to "close" pbchess?

Donation model doesn't work (I've received only one donation since Jan 2010, but have more than 1000 downloads). After implementing the Pocket Book I want to port it on other devices (e.g. Amazon Kindle, Sony, etc). That's why I need some money. This forum shows that much more people have Amazon Kindle and Sony than PocketBook. Current version is Open Source. This means that anyone can obtain sources from me. The additional things will not be open-source. So I'll choose a new hosting when commercial version is ready. |

That is too bad, I think that you could commercially sell a free and open sourced application. But that is your call to make, of course :-) Thanks for everything - great application! |

I had two crashes with the previous version, one engine error (gnuchess engine) and one restart during a game, taking me back to the beginning position. I'll try this version and see if it happens again.

This version has improved logging, so I can see the whole game from the beginning and reproduce it from any position. Please, don't be silent if you have any problem (crash, engine error, etc). |

pbchess-1.2.0
pbchess-1.2.0 released. See details here.
This is the first commercial version of pbchess. It is designed for chess fans who play chess regularly and want to improve their skills. The moves history is very important for game analysis (it's very hard to learn play chess without reviewing your games). Besides this version allows to rollback stupid moves during the game. See user manual (readme) for details. stockfish 2.0.1 has been replaced with stockfish 2.1.1. The license on pbchess-1.2.0 can be applied to all the future versions of pbchess-1.2.x (see plans). Download, evaluate and buy if you like it The pbchess-1.1.x line will stay free. |

Great features in the new version, especially that you can go back in the history of moves, I will register for sure!
Where can I load pgn files? In the future I would really like to see the already planned support for displaying comments. Attached is the updated german translation, it says "options" in the menu but there is no entry in the lng file, it could be replaced by "Optionen" |

Hello,
paypal doesn't send money to Ukraine, at least from Germany where I am. I will have to look into webmoney, it seems like the english documentation isn't that good, but we'll see... |
