Nimzo_2023 Chess GUI for Windows

Post by Roy Sawyer »

I have written a chess graphical user interface program
Nimzo_2023, which is a fork of the Tarrasch Chess GUI
with the following additional features :-

Shootout mode
User defined board bitmaps
Printing functions
Puzzle mode
Engine match and tournament functions

The program can be downloaded from the following links -

https://www.mediafire.com/file/g53mxucz ... 23.7z/file

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5tgw7uce ... 40xvu&dl=0

It can also be downloaded from the website -

https://www.nimzo-2023-chess-gui.infinityfreeapp.com

The download is a zip file Nimzo_2023.7z
When you unzip this file you will find installation
and usage instructions in the file README1.txt

The program is free and open source,
so please feel free to share the program and the links.

Enjoy the game

Dear Bryan,

you are quite right about the not secure transfer protocol error message.
I have subsequently learned that this was caused because I did not obtain a
SSL certificate when I set up the website.
This was a new process for me and they don't tell you that you need these things.
I have now obtained the certificate and the website can be accessed properly.

I did not notice this problem myself because the website opened properly
on my smartphone browsers, although I now realize I should have tested it
on my PC as well.

Many thanks for pointing out this error.

Yours sincerely, Roy Sawyer

This can be used for single or multiple games.

Dear Roy,

I was looking for a software like this for some time i.e. to train puzzles from PGN files.
I tried Tarrasch GUI some time ago but do not use it any more because it lacks what you have implemented - the "Puzzle Mode".
I launched your version and really like it!
Your software can be also used for guessing the moves of complete games ("Solitaire Chess").

I will be testing it with my 8 years old son and will get back to you with more feedback.

Thank you and have a good weekend!

!! BUG ALERT !! for Nimzo_2023 Chess GUI users

Unfortunately, when I was fixing some bugs in Puzzle mode
in version 2.1 I unknowingly created another more serious one,
which was causing the program to crash during engine matches.
I have fixed this problem in version 2.2

Sincere apologies to all users.

The corrected program can be downloaded from the following links :-
