Sharly Chess 4.2 released

Sharly Chess 4.2 focuses on player norms, TRF26 compliance and team ranking of individual tournaments.

Player norms

Sharly Chess now offers many features you will not find on any other Tournament Handling Program.

  • A new document to get a summary of norms achieved, or a forecast of norms that can be achieved for the final round
  • New options to the norm document for the number of rounds and the event type
  • Detailed calculations for the norm report to allow for easy validation
  • Automatic removal of specific played games in order to try to fulfil the norm requirements
  • Support for norm exemption 1.4.2c (last round forfeit as loss)

TRF26 import/export

Sharly Chess is now fully compatible with TRF26 (Tournament Report File) format, for individual competitions.

Custom team ranking documents

You can now print team ranking documents on individual tournaments by specifying:

  • the way to build the teams (club, federation, FFE league, FRA school)
  • the number of players per team
  • optionally a minimal number of men/women and a maximum number of teams per club/federation/…
