Comprehensive chess database app
This looks like the real deal for managing chess databases on iOS. I still have to explore the features, but I already have a few suggestions:
1. Add an option to highlight (arrow or squares) the next move in the game. This allows comparing the game move with the engine move without taking your eyes off the board.
2. Display on the board 3-4 engine moves during analysis, it’s useful to have a few options of good moves. See ChessTiger as an example.
3. This may seem small, but the yellow background for the notation is quite distracting. Change it to gray or make it customizable.
4. Again, this may seem small, but the pawns are too big for all piece sets. Consider adding the Alpha piece set for an alternative.
Thank you and congratulation, the app has a lot of potential.

The Best!
This is the best chess database and analysis program for iOS and iPadOS bar none. I also purchased the paid pro version (Chess Studio without the Lite in its name) by the same author that is even better and worth every penny. Once you learn to use it, you will not look back.
