Right way to study a Chess Ebook!
“Chess Book Study” is a unique fusion of an ebookreader and a board.
You can load any ebook and make the moves on a variation board in the same screen.
This helps to STUDY the chess book by making moves on the board and not just read it.
* Supports pdf, djvu & djv file format
* Multi zoom, bookmarks, goto page
* 3 board sizes
* Its Free!
Well I personally studies over 100 pages of Mikhail Tal’s Life and Games during the course of its development!
(Ideal for large screen phones and tablets.)

Finally, I am happy to release v1.7 of iChess for Android.
Whats new in this release?
☆ Open puzzles file in PGN format from SDcard! (thanks to user Brandon)
Note that your PGN file should have a move for every puzzle so that iChess can provide you hints or assess your move.
Bird view is also supported!
☆ Added nearly 150 positions from recent GM tournaments played in the last 2 months featuring top GMs like Carlsen, Anand, Kramnik, Aronian, Ivanchuk, Morozevich, Polgar, Svidler, Nakamura etc
☆ Shows game information like White/Black/Event and Date.
☆ Corrected moves for some positions (thanks to user Ulrike)
☆ Added extra moves to positions which previously had only one move
Note: If you are upgrading from v1.6 to v1.7, your Master level (ONLY) Bird view will be reset. Sorry!
This is because of a bug in v1.6 which is now fixed.
Bird view from Normal and Advanced level will be maintained

iChess v1.6 released!!
I received some good feedback and suggestion from users. This update is for them!
☆ New Bird View feature to view your Solved/Failed positions for each level. Tap on the number to load that puzzle (thx user Benson)
This is only for puzzles you see going forward
☆ Copy puzzle in FEN notation. Long press on board to see the option (You can import FEN in apps like ‘Chess for Android’ for analysis with the Engine in that app) (thx user Tiago)
☆ Remember last puzzle for each level (thx Tiago). This is handy when you frequently switch between levels.
☆ Touch related bug fix which did not allow selecting a piece if you have already selected one
Proud to announce the release of v1.5.
I consider it to be a major release and hence the version bump from 1.1 to 1.5!!
