GM Tiger Hillarp, using the pgn4web plugin for wordpress on his site chess at the bag of cats, May 2013. "We wanted a live viewer that could work on tablets and mobile phones. pgn4web did fit very well on every platform, is stable and matched our visual design. Also the horizontal view for the commentators and the vertical view for smartphones was a real plus." H.S. from the Max Euwe memorial tournament committee, using pgn4web for live broadcast and game reports, November 2011.

Program to train against gambit play (*) with the computer, with a strength adjustable chess engine (Danasah, currently set at approx 1400 EL0 when playing against it). Also included now are two options to watch an engine e.g. the 'aggressive' Patricia5 (with gambits) play against another engine (eg IM level). The engine gambit books are made in such a way that 1) real lousy gambits are not played, and 2) the book is choosing a gambit line as often as possible, so for Black it might go for e.g. a Benko gambit or so and if you let it play with White, a lot of 1.e4 gambits can be played. Thereby, if you try a gambit yourself, the program might try to a counter-gambit (or sometimes an unconventional line). It will play weak against other engines, and it not meant as to play very strong/perfectly, but for human opponents, the gambit lines will most often result in entertaining -not boring- games, and require quite some concentration to avoid tactical mistakes.
