Updating Sharly Chess

Each time you start the application, Sharly Chess checks if a more recent release is available.

When a new release is found, you are proposed to install it into the parent directory of the current version.

When you run the newer version of Sharly Chess, it will scan the parent folder for any previous versions and offer copy across and update your previous data.

This allows you to keep multiple versions of Sharly Chess installed on your system, and to easily switch between them (although any changes you make to you data in newer version won’t be reflected in older versions).

Uninstalling Sharly Chess

To uninstall Sharly Chess, simply delete the folder where you installed it. Sharly Chess doesn’t install any extra files elsewhere and doesn’t create any registry entries, so it will be completely removed from your system.

Note however that your events are also be stored in this folder, so if you don’t want to lose your event data, you’ll need to move files events/*.sce to another location before removing the folder.
