Meet the all-new Home.
We've rebuilt the main screen from the ground up to put your game front and centre. It's cleaner, faster and easier to find your way around — everything you need to start playing is right there the moment you open the app.
A fresh, modern design brings your chess world together in one place, so there's less tapping around and more time on the board. Pick your time control and jump straight into a game in a single tap.
This is just the beginning — the new Home sets the stage for more to come.
Plus bug fixes and stability improvements across the app.
