Will there be new features on Gameknot?
Is there a development road map?

Short answer: yes.
Long answer: a road map is an internal document that should rather stay secret. =)

I'm not surprised to see changes because, every so often, GK makes changes by adding new features, and that's a good thing. For example, one of the changes that I notices a while back was being able to play against the computer here. Then, something else happened which was more recent. Before, it was just post game analysis, and that was based on GK's analysis. Now, they use the newer version of Stockfish which makes it more accurate. In fact, that program is something that TA recommend to the members in his club. So, it's not an if but a question of when further developments will take place, and it's not something that I can even predict.

Ok, Thanks.

p.s. Is it possible to have an adjustable chessboard as on the lichess (dragging the right corner you can adjust the desired size)?

You can adjust the size of the chessboard via the options link.

of course, but with a 32-inch monitor would need a bigger board.

You can still adjust it, Michelle. When I first joined GK, for a couple of years, I was wondering how to do it. I was a novice, but on top of what a mentor noted, another reason for making mistakes that shouldn't have been made was that the board was too small for me. So, I had the same question of how do you adjust it. Well, the answer is by going into one of your games. And, then, click on Board Settings. Now for the size, it will be under board size. And, in doing so, I changed the size from small to medium which made all the difference in the world. But, what I discovered is that you can change more then just the size like the color, for example.

PS, I forgot to mention that after you make the changes, you'll want to hit the save button, Michelle, and in doing so the changes that you've made will stay there for good.

On larger monitors, you can also use the web browser's "zoom" setting to make everything larger. In Chrome it's right in the main menu, when you click the three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the browser's window. It's also a per-website setting, so it won't affect other websites other than GameKnot.
