Hires Chess Trainer v1.1.0 — train on YOUR real chess mistakes.

Import your games from Chess.com/lichess, find where you go wrong (tactics, openings, endgames) and drill those mistakes with spaced repetition.

What's new in 1.1.0

• Analysis — delete / truncate: Backspace deletes the current variation (current move + the rest); Del truncates the moves after the current position. Both ask for confirmation.
• Save: you can now create a NEW PGN file when saving from analysis (not only append to an existing one) — handy for starting new opening files.
• Engine eval in the live panel is now shown from White's point of view (positive = White better, negative = Black better), symmetric for both sides.
• Board-orientation lock in analysis (key A) is now respected after the Notation panel (V), Load (L) and position Setup (U).
• Game list now reads from the folder you picked (openings/, endgames/), not only pgn/.
• Whole codebase and UI translated to English.
