Important:

I won't be including the puzzle database in the release files anymore, please download it from the lichess site: https://database.lichess.org/lichess_db_puzzle.csv.bz2, extract the ".csv" file and put it in the "puzzles" directory.

This way requires you a bit of manual work but on the other hand it makes sure the file is updated and you won't need to download again if you already have it.

Changes:

  • Horizontal layout with tabs
  • Puzzle information is displayed (game link, fen, rating, themes, etc.)
  • Sound for moves (can be turned off)
  • Basic analysis mode (let you freely move the pieces)
  • Hint (highlight the piece that should be moved)
  • Different piece and board themes
  • Includes also 32-bit versions for Windows

Windows:

The "windows7" and "windows10" in the name in kind of an approximation:

  • The version for windows 7 should also work in 8 / 8.1 and is for systems that don't have Vulkan or DirectX 12. The pieces look considerably worse and you can't change them but other than that the functionality is the same.
  • The Windows 10 version should be preferred if it works in your system, since it looks way better.

Linux:

The binary file I'm providing here was compiled in Linux Mint and tested there and in Arch Linux. I don't know if it will work in other systems but the compilation is pretty straightforward in case you have to compile it yourself.
