- Display games from one or more pgn files.
- Load *.pgn, *.pgz (a zip file which contains one big pgn file) and *.pgn.gz files.
- Reloads the file after a user-defined time period (in seconds). This feature can be used in order to broadcast live chess games. To minimize server bandwidth, the reloading can take place only when the pgn file has changed.
- Creates a colorful display of subvariations and comments.
- Allows the usage of different chessboards and pieces.
- Allows the user to save the pgn file and flip the board.
- 100% skin support. You can change every part of the user interface, include custom images and create your own skin.
- Fully operated by the keyboard. Just press the left, right, up and down arrows to view any game.
There are 3 versions of Pgn World Viewer:
-
Free.
Uses a very simple graphical interface. It does not support skins, it does not display comments and subvariations and it does not support automatic reloading of the pgn files. -
Standard.
Contains all the described features apart from file reloading. Thus, it cannot be used for broadcasting live chess games. -
Full.
The full version contains all the features described in the previous section.
All versions can be easily previewed from your hard disk, but when you publish the applet in your web server you will need a valid license (per server name).
For the free version license, send me an email at andyhot@di.uoa.gr.
The license for the standard version costs €15 and can be purchased
from PayPal (all CreditCards accepted).
The license for the full version costs €50 and can be purchased
from PayPal (all CreditCards accepted).
Within 24 hours you'll receive an email containing the license you requested.
