This is a look behind the screen while the product is still evolving. What you see is not a polished mockup: it is the Caissa Chess PGN Reader in Beta-013, running in a local QA environment (access-state simulation, no activation server and no production test). These screenshots usually stay internal. This one is worth sharing because the direction of the product is already visible.
The reader will open PGN files, organize games into albums, browse the game list, show notation and move into analysis. The capture shows real imported games (Lichess bullet, 1+0 and 0:30+0) with players, ratings, result and the current move — here the mate 25. Qxe6#. Board controls are the expected set: start, previous, play, next, end, “Next game”, playback speed, board flip and zoom. The engine is off in this view. The tabs Albums, Games, Notation and Analysis are already in place.
The app language will be Spanish and English, chosen in the Options / Opciones button. One product, one language switch — not two separate apps.
It will be reached from the Play Chess Online | CAISSA Chess page (caissa-chess.org/play), next to the tools already on the site: import from Chess.com or Lichess, Stockfish analysis, Caissa Insight and game history. The PGN Reader closes the loop: load the file, step through the games, read the notation and analyze without leaving the Caissa environment.
It is still Beta. The engine connection, production flow and mobile experience still need work. The skeleton is there: dark UI, clear controls, game list on the right, board on the left. That is what a modern PGN reader should feel like — you watch the game, you do not fight the interface.
We keep iterating. When it leaves local QA and lands on the main page, the same Options button you see in the top bar will be the one that switches language. Until then, this is the workshop photo.
