What is ChessX?

ChessX

ChessX is a free chess database designed for Windows users. It lets you work with PGN files, browse through games, and even set up board positions easily.

What is ChessX?

ChessX is built on the foundation of SCID (Shane's Chess Information Database). It’s a multi-platform archive where you can view, edit, and manage your own collection of chess games. Unlike its predecessor, ChessX uses C++ and Qt instead of the older Tcl/Tk code. This update brings a fresh tabbed document interface along with menus, toolbars, and a status bar packed with new features.

User-Friendly Features

Even though the interface might take some getting used to, many features are straightforward. Each game opens in its own document window that shows a chessboard along with customizable panels.

If you receive games from friends, don’t worry! ChessX can open them as PGN or BIN files so you can continue where you left off.
