A preview of some upcoming features

News on Magnus’s Online Chess has been quiet recently (since both Magnus and I are pretty busy with our day jobs!) but here’s a preview of the features in development at the moment. These screenshots show:

  • The game options which will now be accessable while playing a game
  • The new “Recent” listing which shows games you’ve recently finished (and games that are adjourned and ready to resume)
  • The game browser that lets you play back the moves of games that you’ve recently finished

No firm date on when to expect an update unfortunately, but it will be as soon as possible!

    First, congratulations for this fine piece of software and thank you for adding fun to my life :-) .

    I like your software a lot but I noticed some little bugs that are somewhat annoying.
    I’m not sure if it’s ok posting them here, but I can’t find any other way to communicate with you:

    Bugs:
    1) When you have an adjourned game and login to FICS, the software propose you to match the other party. You accept and then… nothing happens. The game with the other party never starts.
    I have tried to logout and login again, but it never works.

    2) When you are in the middle of a game and got disconnected from the FICS, you got a message warning of this. When you reconnect, it makes not attempt to restart the same game where you were. Only appears the Find a game screen, and either you lose for disconnection or it is Adjourned… In this case you have the problem mentioned in (1).

    That’s it. Other than that, the software works great.

    I have an iPhone 3G, OS version 3.1.3 (7E18).

    Thanks!
    JC
