We've improved the layout and done some stability repairs under the hood, and this is just a taste of what's coming!
Thank you so much for your support, and we hope you enjoy this version as much as we do!
Oh, we almost forgot to tell you. Undo's are free now, no need to spend Brain Power on it. However, you won't get into the high score lists using undo's.

Can you beat a 29-year old Magnus Carlsen?
This update brings you an older and wiser Magnus Carlsen to play against.
Do you really have what it takes to beat the toughest Magnus so far?
If you do (without an engine), please let us know.
Here's what the world champ has to say about his last 12 months:
What I'm most proud of this year is achieving an unbeaten streak in classical chess of over a hundred games. I managed a string of eight consecutive tournament victories, including some of my favorite events: Tata Steel in Wijk aan Zee and NorwayChess in Stavanger. As a result, I tied my top-ever rating at 2882 – proving I'm the guy to beat. Having won so much, I generously gave the Fischer Random Chess Championship victory to Wesley So.
