Tablebase - The Dojo database now supports tablebase, which solves all seven-piece (or less) endgames. It’s an incredibly powerful tool that allows for easy navigation of complex endgames.

Coming Soon - We will soon add the ability to organize your games into folders. Imagine a cross between Lichess Studies and Google Drive. Reach out to us on Discord if you'd like to be part of our beta testing group for this feature.
