What’s new
Version 1.2.14 · Updated September 8, 2026
Fixes piece movement on the board. Tapping a piece and then a square now moves it reliably, pieces return to their normal size after a tap, and swiping across the board no longer plays a move. Also fixes a brief window after each move where the wrong side’s pieces could be picked up.
