Hi, I'm Maarten Tolhuijs, a solo 38 year old software engineer from the Netherlands who built Chess Console for myself to improve my chess game and learn openings. While doing so I wanted to share it with the world. Your support helps keep development going and is greatly appreciated!
Yes. PGN/FEN input is possible from the in game menu!
