Chess Combine 0.1.192: Full translation of the Position Evaluation trainer into all eight languages: screens, dialogs, ten ranks, congratulations and errors. Switching languages preserves the entered evaluation and updates the open dialog. Improved Arabic layout and the compact completion screen without scrolling.

Chess Combine 0.1.191: New Position Evaluation trainer: 5001 positions from famous players, analysed with Stockfish 19 to depth 40. Numeric answers, a training rating and 10 demanding ranks, Auto mode, favourites and sending the current position to the Editor. Standard board size, automatic Black orientation and numbered variations in Russian or international notation. History and results are stored locally.

Chess Combine 0.1.190: Improved Autoline compatibility with UCI engines. Completed search depth is tracked separately from final variation depth, keeping moves, scores and depths consistent. Improved handling of mating moves and incomplete-depth messages. Improved premoves in Tasks and Club; Tasks now offers Auto mode for advancing to the next puzzle.

Engine selection for Autoline and opening repertoire analysis now remembers your last choice. Analysis at depth 40+ from these modes automatically contributes to the global database. Opening Trainer notation now matches the Editor, and the Tasks board matches the size used in other modules. Returning to the app after using other windows has been improved. Confirmed replacement of existing .cc files is fixed; the old file is preserved if writing fails. Club now offers rematches and shows draw and takeback requests more prominently above the notation.

Fixed translations of results, hints and progress in Memory, and collection cards in Cinema. English and the other six non-Russian languages now show localized text in these elements.

Autoline continues calculating while you work in another window. After a club game, player ratings refresh, clocks use a consistent format, the final move is visible, and the duplicate result panel is removed.

Challenges are cancelled when the sender or recipient leaves the club. A lost connection allows 30 seconds to return; another connected interface keeps the challenge active. Added reconnect and cancellation notices.

Game clocks are saved with each move and displayed during Editor replay. Fixed move notation across platforms, takebacks and the first-move countdown restarting after a takeback. The unfinished-game warning no longer persists long after a restriction ends.

Play bots on the standard board inside CC. Choose a computer opponent in game settings: seven levels, 4, 3, 2, 1, CM, IM and GM, without scrolling, with time and color selection. One- and two-minute games have no artificial reply delay. Fixed bot move sounds, victory sound after checkmate, waiting rules, CC/CCweb/VK badges and returning to the Editor after a game.

Version 0.1.183. Club clocks move to the start of each player row, before the color label. ChessCombine websites, CC and VK share one player pool. Added common move and reconnection limits, visible countdown warnings and restrictions for repeatedly abandoning games. Online play supports eight languages and saves games with their final clocks. Website players are marked CCweb. Fixed CC player names in game history and removed the duplicate message button from player rows. The result no longer covers the board: the final position remains until you choose another action, with the reason for the result shown beside it. Added seven bot levels: 4, 3, 2, 1, Candidate Master, IM and GM, ordered by estimated rating. Moves are calculated on the player’s device; bot games have no rating changes or stakes.

Version 0.1.182. Club: the board matches the Editor in size and position. Players, clocks, notation and actions move to the right. Switching between the game and main hall preserves the game and keeps both clocks visible. Quick controls fit on one row, game history uses available height, and lists scroll independently. Fixed arbitrary flags and clearing of saved countries. Corrected the first-move deadline for both sides.

Version 0.1.181. Autoline searches each move afresh to the selected depth and adds the continuation as a separate variation. Line length, numerical evaluations and depth display can be configured independently. Includes progress, stopping while keeping completed moves, and tooltips in all eight languages. Improved interface responsiveness when returning to the application window. The notation menu can insert a saved evaluation from global analysis, including the engine name and analysis date.

Version 0.1.180. Stockfish 19 Universal is built in: the engine automatically selects CPU optimizations and is ready for analysis without an additional installation. Stockfish 18 is available separately in the engine catalog. Translations for all eight languages and Editor startup have been updated.

Version 0.1.179. Feedback and update icons have been redesigned. Status labels and tooltips are translated into every supported language, and neighboring buttons stay in place. Classic pawns and bishops have more distinctive silhouettes. The Club game setup dialog now fits time controls on smaller screens, keeps action buttons accessible and uses clearer labels for piece colors and rating ranges.

Norwegian Bokmål is now available. The language flag stays in sync, and module switches no longer flash an incomplete editor. Version 0.1.178 improves the puzzle interface: favorites, statistics, hints and solutions open without shifting neighboring panels. Move feedback and results remain visible below the board, including in the leaderboard. Elo is more prominent, and player cards show solutions by theme and difficulty. Position setup, tooltips and translations have been improved. Feedback opens in the app language. Board PNG exports have square corners. Existing ratings are preserved. Board proportions at startup have been corrected. The language menu opens above the Databases dialog, and switching languages preserves the current list request.

Version 0.1.177 adds dark styling to the full installer and small updater: a graphite background, light text and a gold progress indicator. Layout at larger Windows display scales has been corrected. The fast update mechanism, GlobalSign signature, SHA-256 checks and file recovery after a failed update are retained.

Version 0.1.176 uses a small signed installer and a separate application package. The installer window opens faster after the update downloads. SHA-256 verification and file recovery after an interrupted update are included. Faster launching applies to subsequent updates after this version is installed. The editor can save a position as PNG from the notation menu.

Version 0.1.174 protects source PGN files when editing or deleting games, correctly detects position repetition, and preserves Cinema progress resets when devices synchronize. Account switching and login and registration error messages have been fixed. Missing translations have been added for the repertoire builder, variation leaf evaluator, CPL, app updates and engine catalog in all seven languages.

Version 0.1.173 adds source-game details to the ends of variations created from the current position: player names, ratings, event, and year. Delete Before and Delete After now remove notation only, preserve these attributes, and keep the trimmed row expanded and visible; the attributes are removed only when the entire variation is deleted.

Version 0.1.172 improves the Editor layout on compact and ultrawide displays: Global Analysis uses the available width, the File menu now has clear groups and semantic icons, and collapsing large notation keeps the full main line visible. Opening repertoire creation now has separate depths for main and side lines; Best Move adds exercises 160–166 and always trains the side to move.

Version 0.1.171 fixes saved .cc board markup in Opening Trainer. Arrows, circles, lines, rectangles, crosses, and highlights now remain visible while browsing an opening and during guessing; drawing tools remain exclusive to the Editor.

Version 0.1.170 makes module switching visually stable while keeping a separate board size only in CLUB; it cleans up Database search results and controls below the board, brings the Update button to life, and replaces technical opponent-preparation wording with direct percentage comparisons.

Version 0.1.169 speeds up opening preparation: it builds a training tree from the current position with one move for the user and popular opponent replies, evaluates every leaf with the selected engine, and keeps navigation smooth in large notation files.

Version 0.1.168 completes opponent preparation with a readable game plan, reliable navigation between the dossier, game list, and Editor, plus complete localization of the feature in seven languages.

Version 0.1.167 adds full-database opponent preparation with results, opposition strength, trends, color profiles, and openings for both sides; the interface fits compact screens, returns to the game list without layout shifts, and safely preserves PGN backups across different drives.

Version 0.1.165 uses a consistent White point of view for every Global Analysis score, restores Alexandria and Quanticade/Cronus ratings, and prevents stale responses from replacing the current position.

Version 0.1.164 stops background analysis after a long minimize, restores the interface quickly on return, and launches the update installer without an artificial delay.

Version 0.1.161 completes Cinema translations, lays out the Arabic interface correctly from right to left, and adds automated localization coverage for every module screen.

Version 0.1.160 adds hardware-backed code signing through Rutoken, SHA-256, and a trusted GlobalSign timestamp to both the Russian and international installers.

Version 0.1.159 fixes search and sorting freezes in Databases, disables player-name search until a PGN is prepared, adds clear-selection and persistent game colors, keeps long row numbers on one line, and moves safety backups into internal storage.

Version 0.1.158 removes artificial spacing at the start and end of notation and fixes collapsing a variation that contains the active move: the branch stays collapsed and selection moves to its visible root.

Version 0.1.157 updates Opening Trainer with four built-in White and Black refutation repertoires, restores move assessments, comments, board markup, and selected analysis after moves, standardizes bundled filenames in Latin characters, and removes unnecessary empty space when Editor notation opens.

Version 0.1.156 improves Databases with year, site, event, and round metadata, removes the Editor-only symbol palette, keeps notation compact, and lets users safely insert or completely remove a database game without altering the original Editor file; move sounds are now predecoded for instant playback.

Version 0.1.155 adds quick actions for copying and safely previewing pasted FEN, comments before and after a move, position search, and board drawing; Paste FEN, Copy FEN, and Flip now form a balanced group below the board, with compact layouts for smaller screens.

Version 0.1.154 adds compact move-action submenus, positions them safely near window edges, keeps every command accessible, and prevents the menu from closing during internal scrolling.

Version 0.1.152 removes encoding and Russian grammar errors, prevents Russian database stages from leaking into other languages, and adds automated localization checks for the app and websites.

Version 0.1.151 separates a trainer's working position from the Editor document: the false save prompt no longer appears, while genuinely edited games remain protected by the save confirmation.

Version 0.1.133 keeps only the user's popular symbols visible by default and opens all 45 annotations in a separate popup on demand. Showing or hiding the inspector no longer clips or resizes the table.

Version 0.1.132 adds a personalized quick-symbol palette, an on-demand table of all 45 chess annotations, seven-language tooltips, and fixes the variation dialog so a move such as Nge7 no longer stretches the existing Nxe5 line across the screen.

Version 0.1.131 adds persistent custom colors and theme names, personalizes quick notation symbols, and optimizes the main trainers and Cinema for compact laptop displays.

Version 0.1.130 fixes the database game-viewing workflow: no false save prompt after opening a game, no stale initial list view, no extra inspector, and no engine commands where the engine is unavailable.

Version 0.1.129 fixes a 0.1.128 issue where the compatible x64 file was present in the installer but absent from the launch queue. A failed primary or custom UCI engine now falls back to bundled AVX2 and then universal x64/SSE2 Stockfish 18.

Version 0.1.128 fixes START returning without launching the engine on smaller and entry-level laptops: the installer includes fast AVX2 and universal x64 Stockfish 18 builds, automatically selects a working build, and shows a clear error if launch is impossible.

Version 0.1.127 fixes engine launch on smaller displays: START appears as soon as an engine is selected, remains available during a slow background probe, and fits inside a responsive panel with safe scrolling.

Version 0.1.126 optimizes the Editor for smaller displays, adds the Mix inspector, improves the collapse-variations control, and introduces verified CPU headroom with automatic recovery of an unresponsive UCI engine.

Version 0.1.106 fixes the Club player card on click and right-click, restores the administrator's Message action, and removes unnecessary horizontal scrolling from player and message dialogs.

Version 0.1.105 refreshes the Club with a new visual style, selectable right-click challenge time controls, administrator-to-player messaging, future-section tabs, and an easy way to restore hidden game history.

Version 0.1.104 adds the Who is under attack? and Where can it move? Memory exercises, progressive difficulty, drag-to-answer controls, and interface fixes.

Version 0.1.96 improves Best Move training: premoves can be queued during the opponent reply, correct lines continue automatically, and opponent replies are slower and steadier.

Version 0.1.95 improves the updater: RU builds use .cc mirrors as a fast VPN fallback, and ChessCombine closes faster before launching the installer.
