This is great app I have seen in my entire life πŸ˜ƒ because This is 90% Free and it would be good if there was an arrow to draw custom arrows

Great app so far. Would you be able to show piece colour for each player when analysing master games? Unless you intend for people to logically assume that the first name in the description will be the white pieces. Is this the case?

The application is more than wonderful, but I hope that there is a feature of dragging the pieces, this will be more than wonderful.
