Development of the next major version of ChessConquest (version 3) is progressing well and on schedule.

We have completed development and testing of the new move engine for classic chess. This engine is an upgrade to the existing one and performs better with high player load and real-time games.

Similarly we have also completed the development and testing of the Chess 960 move engine.

If you are able please start contacting former players to rejoin the site. Thanx.

I can't wait for the new version 3. Cheer ON !!!

Ketchuplover, we will definitely launch a big marketing campaign to invite back previous players as soon as the new site is launched.

We are also planning a few things to recruit new players.

good morning I wish everyone and I want to ask what is the good and practical presentation of the new chess version 3 and its advantages compared to the version in its current form, ,. ....

Hello Tink2020,

ChessConquest version 3 will introduce the Chess960 variation, and we will also switch from the knock-out tournament format, to the swiss tournament format. This is a much more enjoyable format, and should also take much less time to complete.

We also did a redesign of the user interface, that will make it much easier to navigate the site.

We will make sure to post updates as we continue development. Currently there is no ETA.

Hello Yotta. For some reason my posts of the forum are not showing up. So I can ask you here what is the maximum number of days a player can take as holidays.

 Yotta (1105)    18 Aug 2024 05:29:30

The maximum number of days of vacation is 30 days per year Ageling.

how close is v3 to fruition?

 geechan (2133)    7 Oct 2024 22:20:01

We are all waiting for the good news on v3.

 Yotta (1105)    8 Oct 2024 06:30:17

We made the difficult but important decision to switch tech stacks midway with development. This is unfortunately delaying our development efforts. After careful consideration we do however believe that switching to a more streamlined teach stack will allow us to eventually win back lost time, and be in a better position to support ChessConquest development going forward.

Will provide more updates as we continue work on v3.

Have you looked into site promotion/advertising? Contacting/recruiting former members? tyia

 Yotta (1105)    9 Oct 2024 03:41:36

Our plan is to launch a “come back” campaign for former members as soon as the new website is released.

Also have a few other ideas we plan to run with to recruit new members.

First just need to focus our efforts on delivering v3.
