  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Historical commentary, a Players grid, and better game browsing. • Commentary on the legendary games: move-by-move notes from the classic annotators — Steinitz, Lasker, Fischer, Tartakower and more — follow along as the game plays, each credited to who said it and linked to its source. Hide it, or pick which sources to show. • Find commentary for any historical game in a player's database, with quick links to search the web when none has been published. • AI commentary updated to the latest Claude model, with clearer messages when something goes wrong. • Players: switch between a list and a photo grid, sort by name, country, games or score, and search. • Game lists: zoom the boards with a slider (or pinch), switch to a grid, sort by date, opponent, opening or length, and filter by result, colour or search. • Favourite openings now show their names, and tapping an opening or opponent lists those games. • Chessnut: Disconnect now really disconnects, and the screen stays awake while your board is following a game so it no longer stops when the phone sleeps. There's also a small "Keep screen on" switch. • One speed control for replays — it also sets your board's pace while following. • Dark mode is now readable throughout.
