Hi all,

version 3.0.0 of BGBlitz is available. The most important new features: - Chess clocks (as in chess, Fischer and most important Bronstein mode). Clocks are now in widespread use in tourneys, so now you can train play under time pressure with BGBlitz.

- Under "Game / Heatmap of Rolls" you can see how lucky your roll was, how volatile the situation is and you can even "drill down" and see how the game would proceed if you click on a field. In the new Dashboard is a stripped down version included.

- You may remember the 2 sided bear off database from Hugh Sconyers. You now have access to the database. Hugh allowed me to make the database accessible.

-If you want to analyse a whole batch of matches, either files or links from Dailygammon, you have now the "Batch analyser".

- The analyser is improved, you can copy the summary to the clipboard, the default level is configurable, the analyser show the progress in higher levels and is cancellable. The colors in the analyser for large blunder and blunder are now better distinguishable.

- and a lot of minor stuff and bugfixes and about 60 bugs are fixed, a couple were serious ones.

I don't provide a Windows 32-Bit version anymore. For MacOS there are now separate downloads for Intel x86 and the new Apple Silicon.

You find more detailed info on the news page https://bgblitz.com/news.html

ATTENTION: for buyers of BGBlitz version 1.x (i.e. before 2007) it is the first non free update. There is a moderate update fee see here: https://bgblitz.com/buy.html
