Does this version of chess let me leave a game halfway played and come back to it later (after I quit the app and say go back to koreader)? I had a version of pbchess that didn't let me save or resume games

Of cause it does.
1. Create new Base for your games: MENU - Base - New base
2. MENU - New game

Does this work on the Paperwhite 4? 5.11.1?

I put the correct extensions directory in the /mnt/us/extensions and the vlasovsoft application directory in /mnt/us but KUAL doesn't seem to see any of your apps; even after a restart.

[root@kindle us]# cd vlasovsoft/
[root@kindle vlasovsoft]# pwd

It should work. Probably something is changed in KUAL. I'll setup new KUAL today and test it with my KPW3.

UPD. Just tried the latest KUAL. It works ok. But I don't use KUALBooklet. Probably this is the reason...

Nope, same backend in both cases.

Hmmm... in this case what am I doing wrong? Did I extract the files incorrectly? Place them in the wrong location?

[NiLuJe]

It's a single top-level entry, check the next page, maybe? .

I've definitely made dumb mistakes like that before; but I don't see his program listed anywhere

"KUal, helper+, usb network, koreader, syncthing, screen savers, leafpad, eboard chess, skipstone, fonts, font override' that's it.

[NiLuJe]

Reboot, check that it's still in the right place, check KUAL's log (/tmp/KUAL.log, IIRC)?

Awesome! Got that opened up and apparently I had messed up the auto time update extension I had wanted to add; removed it and now this thing works great! Chess on my kindle plus training, what's not to love?

Feature request: allow the option to maintain wifi state (enabled) bluetooth (enabled) when launching your app. I'm enjoying the SOX internet streaming feature and would like to listen to pleasant background music when bettering my chess game. Whenever I launch your app it seems to disable wifi and perhaps bluetooth too
