Site Updates

File Sharing - Two months ago, we announced our file system for organizing your games and repertoires. Today, we're releasing a major update, which allows you to share public or private folders with other users. You can add users as viewers, editors or admins.

In this example, we are giving the user Jalp editor access to the White Repertoire folder.

Viewers can see all games and nested folders but cannot make any changes. Editors can add games and remove games that they added, but cannot create nested folders or remove games added by other users. Admins can do everything except delete the folder.

We see this as a great way for coaches and students to collaborate, and we're excited to see what people do with it!

Engines - If you missed it last month, Stockfish 16 and 17 are now available in the Dojo's game annotator. Since then, we've added some new features:

• You can view the engine's expected Win/Draw/Loss percentages under the main eval. In the engine settings, there is an option called Primary Eval Type. You can use this to display WDL percentages next to each line instead of the normal numeric eval.
• Clicking on the eval box next to a line will add that full line to your PGN and insert a comment with the engine name, eval, depth and WDL percentages.
• There is now an option in the engine settings and the game viewer settings to highlight the full engine line in the PGN text, in addition to the fish icon that displays at the start of the line.

Remember, don't check your games with the engine until you've finished your own analysis.

Teams - Are you part of a scholastic or European club team? Let us know! We would like to bring your teammates to the Dojo and see you with them on a customized scoreboard. We believe the Dojo is the place for teams to track their progress, be competitive with one another and challenge other teams.

Coming Soon

THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! The Dojo will do commentary for all games. Tune in Nov 25 – Dec 15 on Twitch and YouTube.

Alex Sherzer Memorial - Alex was a good friend of Sensei Kraai and loads of old champions are coming out to honor his memory Nov 1-3 in Washington DC: GMs Patrick Wolff, Benjamin, Fishbein and IM Stuart Rachels. Will Kraai continue his good form from this summer's senior and get the big 12 points he needs to re-graduate back into the 2400+ cohort?
