Welcome to Chessie 3.1.0. Your next move starts a new adventure. In Expeditions, you travel through five painted worlds with companions of your own choosing. Each chess encounter takes you further as you help restore the Atlas. Take your time, try a different approach and see where your team leads you. That sense of adventure now reaches across Chessie. We have refreshed the menus, game boards, lessons and puzzles, made the controls more consistent and given rewards a little more occasion. The new avatar studio lets you see your choices as you create a hero of your own. There is even a celebration waiting at the end of your expedition. Whether you come for a daily puzzle, a lesson, a surprising set of chess rules or a game together, we hope you enjoy finding your own way through Chessie. Everything is still included, with no ads or in-app purchases. Thank you for playing and helping Chessie grow.
