I'm trying to see if it's worth upgrading. I need to copy over the custom piece sets after every upgrade, so I wouldn't do it if the changes do not affect me.

One of the ways I use HCE is as a virtual board when reading a book. See below HCE and Kindle side-by-side. The problem here is that due to the layout, the board has to be very small. Ideally I would want the board on top of the notation. Can you consider making the layout more customizable or at le...

Related, is there still a plan for an evaluation bar (as in this screenshot from lichess)?

Million thanks just for considering the feature! It would make a big difference. Along the same lines, are you also thinking about an evaluation bar?

Lichess solution doesn't seem suitable for HCE, because player names are more important there. In Lichess you normally don't really care whom are you playing, so moving the player names outside the notation is acceptable. In HCE most of the time you want to see it clearly. Sorry if I wasn't clear e...

In case anyone needs a workaround until the fix is released, you can change the casting record in the FEN for the initial position to specify the files where the rooks are located instead of the traditional "KQkq". An example is always better. Consider the following starting position: [FEN...

I'm not sure if there's still any plan to do something about the timestamps, but I would like to revive the topic by a visual comparison between lichess and HCE Pro: https://i.postimg.cc/GprHQ6Md/temp-Image-LWAe-Tg.jpg versus: https://i.postimg.cc/pLKmKPJs/temp-Image-G32sjg.jpg Is it debatable that ...

Is there still a plan to allow reordering the games in a database?

Interesting, thank you!

One problem is not all of the information is always available. 1. Best move is only available if there is an analysis running. 2. Same for evaluation bar (like the one used by Chess24) 3. Refutation of the played move is not available even with engine running. In fact, we don't even know if the mov...

HCE Pro 1.2.1, if I paste the following 960 game it gets truncated after move 8. Other games would be truncated at a different move, but still truncated. Can you take a look? Original PGN: [Event "Live Chess - chess960"] [Site "Chess.com"] [Date "2023.10.15"] [White &qu...

Is this post still relevant enough in 2023 to be pinned on top of the forum?

@mrudolf, thanks for adding "Hide next moves" in 1.2!

At least consider it as optional.

There's also the opposite argument: consider importing a game, not caring at all about timing, and having a few useful comments drowned in timestamps.

I also wouldn't mind if there were a way to just clear all timestamps.

@mrudolf, how about the suggestion to not display the time as comments but rather next to the board as in a real game? Is that something you might consider for your product roadmap?
