Looking for beta testers for Sharly Chess 3.0!

Version 3.0 of Sharly Chess will be the first fully standalone version, for which tournaments are now stored exclusively in the application database (*.papi files not used anymore).

This major change allows for:

• Simpler installation (no Access driver required).
• Simpler use (all event information in one place, in events/*.sce files).
• Increased performance (slowdowns from Access databases are gone).
• Native support on macOS (Apple Silicon Macs only).
• Several new features, such as no automatic board renumbering when manually adding pairings.

We are looking for beta testers for this new version, which we expect to release in final form by the end of August (depending on your feedback).

Please let us know of any issues you encounter on Discord (preferred), by email (support@sharly-chess.com) or on GitHub. And if everything works smoothly for you, we’d love to hear that too!

Note: Sharly Chess no longer uses Papi files, but of course you can still submit your tournaments to the French Chess Federation website!

Thank you in advance for your help and feedback!
