<p><strong><span style="color:#090;">Update: LiliaChess 3.2.0.0</span></strong><br />
Winboard-compatible GUI by Carlo Bellentani written in Java with source code available<br />
- New function: EPD file reader.  Loading an EPD position switches LiliaChess to chess-problem status (white border).   The Restart button is available (as usual) as far as human and/or supporting engines are selected.    Unlike the PGN window, the EPD selection window is modeless and the selected row is immediately  uploaded to the chessboard.   Some EPD test-suites are supplied within the installer.  <br />
- The PGN reader has been improved and tested with a lot of files.  The implementation is intended  to be specification-compliant with a certain degree of fault-tolerance (for instance, a castle notation  with 0-digits instead of O-letters is accepted).   Some &quot;move_error&quot; messages are now more clear.<br />
- PGN reader : PGN games starting with a FEN-tagged position are now supported.<br />
- PGN reader : annotated PGN games are now supported.  Annotations are displayed in a separate window.<br />
- The game commands (New, End, Restart) are now icon-buttons; the previous text strings are used as tool-tips.<br />
- After the end of a continuation game (restart), pointing the mouse at one of the original moves  in the move table restores the original title (players, result etc.).<br />
- Fixed bug:  a king with the adjacent square under check was allowed to castle.<br />
- A move notation like &quot;c7c8n&quot; is recognized for promotion (as well as the standard &quot;c7c8=n&quot;).<br />
