- Direct game uploads to Lichess and Chess.com from the PGN window
- Tablebase integration via Lichess 7-man endgames with auto-play finish game feature

- Direct import of Lichess and Chess.com games by username
- Open and auto-update live Lichess broadcast tournament games
- Configurable variation length limits in engine annotation
