What's New

Version 4.9.2 2026-10-26
- IN THIS RELEASE (4.9.2) • Added support for multiple windows on iPad, allowing you to use multiple Chess Studio sessions simultaneously. • Added the option t...- IN THIS RELEASE (4.9.2) • Added support for multiple windows on iPad, allowing you to use multiple Chess Studio sessions simultaneously. • Added the option to automatically rotate the chessboard based on which player's turn it is to move. • Fixed an issue in the game training section. • Improvements to the iCloud Drive section. • Minor bug fixes, general improvements and optimizations.. - MAIN FEATURES INTRODUCED IN THE LATEST RELEASES • The new Stockfish 19 engine has been integrated, featuring the new Neural Network support (SFNNv16). According to the authors, Stockfish 19 shows consistent performance improvements, with an Elo gain of up to 44 points. • The Unique online Database with over 11 million games is available. In addition to standard browsing, it is possible to perform targeted searches by data or position. The Unique Database will be updated regularly. • Added the ability to perform searches in a Database based on PGN Tags (Event, Date, White, Black, ECO, Elo, etc.). This section can be accessed from the main menu. • Diagram Recognition: this feature allows the user to take and/or upload photos of chess diagrams and convert them into PGN format positions. It is also possible to upload images containing multiple chess diagrams. • From the Help section, you can download the updated full description of the application. The same description can be viewed at the following address: https://chessstudio.wordpress.com/chess-studio-2/. • Chess Studio is enhanced with a new feature: the ability to browse an Online Database of games organized by Year and Tournament since 1560. This extensive Online Database will be updated daily with new tournaments and games. In the Lite version, access is possible but with limitations. • A new training feature has been added: the user can load a game from a database and decide whether to move for White or Black without seeing the moves to evaluate his skills. At the end a report will be produced that traces the entire training session. It is possible to use this functionality either by choosing the game to train with or by letting the application decide the game in random mode. To use this functionality, some settings are possible via an appropriate interface. You can access to this functionality from the menu at the top center of the chessboard screen. • Chess Studio can now read databases in ChessBase format. It can import cbh, cbp, cbt, cbg, cba, cbs and cbc formats, thus it is able to interpret not only the moves of a game but also the variations and comments. • New feature: Search for games by position. This new feature is found in the main menu under the "PGN Tools" section. It allows you to search for games in a database starting from a given position. The position can be set both with normal pieces but also with different symbols that have different meanings. In this way it will be possible to search, for example, all the games that have a typical pawn structure regardless of the position of the other pieces. • Possibility to choose between different layouts of the board on the screen according to the user's needs. For those using Chess Studio on the iPad, this feature allows you to scroll through the moves of a game with a tap on the right or left of the chessboard. • Possibility of playing online using the Lichess platform. For blind or visually impaired players this feature is fully supported by Voice Over. • Automatic insertion of engine analysis into games. To enter the analysis, simply touch the engine analysis line. To use this feature you need to activate it in the application settings. • From the opening section of a database it is possible to save the games relating to a single ECO code or to a single opening variant in a new database.
