CheckerPlayer 1.3.0 available now!

Pleased to announce an update to CheckerPlayer (version 1.3.0) with some handy new features and improvements.

  • Game editor for easy corrections to game scores. This makes editing and correcting database games much easier as you can now edit the game as plain text.
  • Ability to open multiple PDN files at once, so if you have a bunch of PDN files to load into the database, you can do them all in one go.
  • Enhanced pasting of games from web pages. You can now paste entire web pages and CheckerPlayer will extract the games.
  • Recover previous games. If you’ve had a long session and you want to go back to a game that you had in front of you earlier, you can now cycle through all of the viewed games in that session. You can also get a list of all the viewed games and retrieve a game from there.
  • No more waiting for piece animations to finish. If you have animations switched on, you can make your move while the animation is still happening.
  • “How to Move and Jump” help panel. For newcomers to CheckerPlayer, a simple help page showing how to drag the pieces.
  • Minor improvements to the interface.
  • Database performance improvement. No more long delays when selecting all database games (blame Microsoft for that one, not me.)
