ChessForge Reviews

I find the Chess Forge’s ability to create custom workbooks to be a particularly valuable feature. I can effortlessly create my own opening repertoire, create thematic exercises, and analyze everything with the integrated Stockfish engine. It combines the capabilities of multiple existing chess apps with an intuitive user interface and very high reliability. I value effortless import of games from Lichess, Chess.com, top players games or external pgn files, as well as ability to search through the games using multiple criteria. Online library is well designed and very useful and I look forward to the inclusion of more workbooks over time. What truly sets this app apart is the training mode. It allows me to practice against the positions in my workbook and receive instant feedback on my performance. An excellent choice for those who are serious about improving their game and is a must-have tool for chess coaches!

Excellent edit: Hi czbar, I'm a big fan of ChessForge and I'm about to switch to Linux for an extended period. Unfortunately, ChessForge is currently only available for Windows, and I won't have access to Windows machines during this time. I understand that developing for multiple platforms can be time-consuming, but I was wondering if you'd consider creating a Linux build of ChessForge in the future. Even a basic build would be greatly appreciated by Linux users like myself. In the meantime, I'll keep using ChessForge whenever I have access to a Windows machine. Thanks for your time and for creating such a fantastic chess program! Sincerely, karthick
