◆ Guess the move (Beta) ◆ Play through famous master games and guess each move. Stuck? Ask Knighty about the position on screen. ◆ Your games, move by move ◆ Every move of a reviewed game now comes with a short reason why it was good or bad, for your moves and your opponent's. Knighty adds a note on the moments that decided the game, and you can rate each explanation. A reviewed game opens with the same report on all your devices. ◆ The Academy ◆ One learning path from your first checkmate to rook endgames: 52 short units across six levels. Each unit has a few lessons, some practice and a quick test, so you know when you've really got it. Your first unit is free. ◆ Coach (Beta) ◆ Import your games and Knighty finds what's holding you back. Then he trains you on it, one 10-minute session at a time, with positions from your own games. He can now ask which moment you mean and offers answer chips. ◆ Also new ◆ • The games list shows score, result, date and tags on every row; filters tuck away as you scroll. • Board scan: choose White or Black to move before you confirm. • A reminder to confirm your email, until you do. • Many translation fixes in opening lessons. • Fixes and stability improvements.

◆ Game reviews that keep you posted ◆ Your games are now reviewed on our server. Coach tells you when reviews are running or if one failed, and "Try again" queues it again. ◆ A sharper Coach ◆ Coach now names your mistakes more precisely: a piece left undefended, a missed capture, a bad trade, a promotion, a mate threat, a deflection or removing the defender. Each one comes with its own habit card. Your rating chart now marks your high and your low. ◆ Practise your blunders ◆ Hints now come step by step, every move about as good as the best one counts, and if an explanation fails you can try it again. ◆ Also new ◆ • Pick your Academy level with a live preview of the map, or change it later from the menu. • Game reports switch between key moments and all moves. On phones, swipe between Analysis and Ask Knighty. • The feed groups a player's analysed games from one day into one entry. • Board previews load faster and work offline. • Clearer chess terms in every language. • Fixes and stability improvements.

◆ Queen, now yearly ◆ Queen now also comes as a yearly plan: you save 50% compared with paying monthly. The monthly plan stays available. ◆ Opening runs that follow your games ◆ In Coach, an opening run now starts at the exact move where you left your repertoire, and the other side plays the moves real players choose at that point. ◆ Better offline ◆ Lost your connection? Screens that need the internet now say so instead of loading forever, and your votes, comments and edits wait and go through once you are back online. ◆ Also new ◆ • The analysis panel shows which engine is analysing. • Fixes and stability improvements.

◆ Coach sessions ◆ Knighty now coaches you one session at a time. Each session starts from a real position in one of your games, explains why it matters, gives you practice on the same idea, and ends with one habit to take back to your games. Leave any time — you pick up at the same step. ◆ A coach that remembers your focus ◆ The Coach tab opens on today's session and the weakness you are working on. Short stories show what Knighty found in your games and, later, when that weakness is fixed. Openings and endgames from your own games now get their own steps. ◆ Ask Knighty anywhere ◆ Knighty knows where you are — game, puzzle, lesson or session — and which move you are looking at. ◆ Chess symbols for moves ◆ Moves show a small piece icon instead of a letter. Prefer letters in your language? Switch in Profile → Settings → Move notation. ◆ Also new ◆ • Academy: four new endgame units — two pawns vs one, rook short-side defence, opposite-coloured bishops, queen and pawn vs queen. • iPad: drag the divider between board and side panel in landscape. Sheets open as a centred card. • The Games tab loads page by page, so long game lists open faster. Game stats now live in Coach. • Fixes: the app keeps your chosen language after a restart, lessons where Black moves first are numbered from move 1, and copying a lesson's PGN keeps its start position.

◆ Academy, one level at a time ◆ The map shows one level at a time, each in its own colour, with an icon for every unit and a progress rail in the corner. New units teach checkmate patterns and how to spot the threat, levels 1 and 2 start with a warm-up, and a "Next level" button waits where a level's road ends. Tap the stars to see what they mean. ◆ Analysis, rebuilt for your phone ◆ One scrolling panel holds the move card, the engine and the game report. The eval bar is back, mistakes get a better-move arrow and a ?/?? badge, and Knighty reads the position for you, concrete tactics included. The coach opens from the header. ◆ Puzzles from your games ◆ After an analysis, Knighty points out the moments worth turning into puzzles. Publishing opens a pre-filled editor. ◆ Also new ◆ • Board coordinates — switch them off in Settings. • Lessons show moves as arrows and shuffle quiz answers. • Select and delete imported games in bulk. • Open a study's full tree in analysis and save it back in place. • Coach: "Train this" on a leak opens its Academy unit. • Fixes for the keyboard covering inputs and lessons stuck in English. — Also new in 1.2.2 — ◆ Coach (beta) ◆ A new tab that reads your imported games and names your weaknesses. Open one to see example positions and the games behind it, follow a weekly plan, and switch between Plan, Stats and Leaks — your win/draw/loss record, your top openings as White and Black, and how your games end. ◆ Academy, out of beta ◆ The map opens at the unit you are on, locked and skipped units look different, and you can skip ahead from a unit's intro. Every unit opens for a preview, your best stars show under its title, and results screens offer a bonus play-out. ◆ A new chessboard ◆ Every board in the app runs on a new engine. Moves feel instant, the opponent's reply animates, a wrong move snaps back, and pieces land right under your finger. ◆ Lessons ◆ Pick a mode when you open a lesson. After a correct move, tap Next when you are ready — and Knighty only speaks up when you go wrong. ◆ Board from a screenshot ◆ The detected position is applied straight away, with a suggestion chip and Undo, and the last move is highlighted. ◆ More improvements ◆ • The rated puzzle feed never runs dry. • Coordinate rounds, theme puzzles and Academy drills now earn Pawns. • A light haptic tap on every correct move — switch it off in Settings. • Streak squares shade by how much you did that day. • Home opens faster, and Lichess imports arrive in chunks. • Links in reminder emails open the app.

◆ My Learning Path (beta) ◆ One map of everything you are learning. Place yourself on it, open the stone you are on, and play its session — puzzles and lessons chosen for where you actually are. ◆ Opening Run ◆ A new way to test a repertoire: play your line move by move against the engine, see the moment you leave the book, and play out the position you land in. The run says which move it wants and where you are at every step. ◆ A coach that keeps up ◆ Knighty's answers stream in as they are written and the view follows along, with Stop in the tab and a retry when a reply stalls. Its refutation is a real line you can step through, move by move. A context strip at the top says what it is reading. ◆ Lessons ◆ Knighty's mistake card floats over the board and can be thrown aside. The turn cue tints the square you play from, taps land on the square even when a piece is in the way, and fast mode previews the next move as an arrow. ◆ Puzzles ◆ Step back to puzzles you finished this sitting. History has one filter bar with a sheet, and holding the like chip shows who liked a puzzle. Start a blunder session from one of your own games and play it to the solved screen. ◆ A board that fits your hands ◆ Drag the row under the board to resize it in puzzles, analysis and review. The size sticks, and every screen agrees on it. ◆ More improvements ◆ • Analysis knows which side you played — board and coach both. • The games card leads your home screen, and importers get prompted to review a game. • iPad landscape: lessons start and the side rail lines up with the board. • The app follows your device language everywhere.

◆ A fresher look ◆ Every screen has been rebuilt on one design system — cleaner cards, type and spacing — and dark mode now reaches all of it, the board and the launch screen included. Text size is a per-screen setting, so you can enlarge lesson prose without shrinking the board. ◆ A new lesson player ◆ Lesson text is the page now, not a caption squeezed under the board: the full prose reaches your device, you swipe to page through a step-by-step explanation, and the pieces you are meant to move breathe when it is your turn. Every beginner lesson is free forever, you can preview any opening or endgame lesson, and you can unlock one in full — no subscription. ◆ Knighty explains your mistakes ◆ The coach reads the position instead of guessing at it: it knows which moves are forced, which are the only move, and what makes a mate a mate, so it walks you through a combination move by move. Play a wrong move in a lesson and it tells you what you missed. Answers stream in as it thinks, with Stop and Retry when one stalls. Tap a move in its line and the board plays the line out. ◆ An activity feed ◆ See what everyone else is up to: puzzles uploaded, comments and likes, lessons finished, studies published, solving streaks, new players from your country. Tap any row to open it in place. A preview sits on your home screen. ◆ Your week at a glance ◆ The Tactics card carries your rating and its weekly trend, a 7-day activity strip, and a streak bar that says when today's streak is at risk. The leaderboard has tabs, gold-silver-bronze tints for the top three, and rows that open the player's profile. ◆ Puzzles and analysis ◆ Solving a puzzle ends somewhere worth staying: ask the coach, like or dislike, jump into the comments — all from one row under the board, with the author's real name and avatar. The eval bar says what it means in words, "White is winning (+1.4)", and the Analysis tab breaks the game down per player: accuracy, centipawn loss, every move grade from brilliant to blunder. The Engine tab runs to full depth on its own and shows up to five best lines. Promotions ask which piece you want, and rated sessions no longer end when you leave the screen. ◆ Share a game straight into the app ◆ LearnChess now appears in your phone's share sheet. Send it a PGN, a FEN or a Lichess game link from anywhere and it opens on the analysis board, ready to study. ◆ More improvements ◆ • Redesigned profiles: tap a field to edit it, add your country, see when someone was last online. • Your username is your single public handle across the app. • Pull to refresh anywhere, and the explainers on home are sheets you can swipe away. • No more half-translated screens, and the app remembers the language you picked.

New in this version: ◆ An activity feed ◆ See what everyone else is up to: puzzles uploaded, comments and likes, lessons finished, studies published, solving streaks, new players from your country. Tap any row to open it in place — replay a puzzle position or step through a finished lesson without leaving the feed. A preview of it sits on your home screen. ◆ A new puzzle-solved screen ◆ Solving a puzzle now ends somewhere worth staying. Ask the AI coach, like or dislike, and jump into the comments — all from one row under the board. The author gets a real name and avatar instead of a raw ID, so you know whose puzzle you just solved. And puzzles whose solution ends on the opponent's move are correctly marked solved. ◆ Knighty explains the whole sequence ◆ The coach now reads the position instead of guessing at it. It knows which moves are forced, which are the only move, and what actually makes a mate a mate — so it walks you through a combination move by move rather than explaining the first move and hand-waving the rest. Tap a move in the coach's line and the board plays the whole line out. ◆ Lessons you can try for free ◆ Worth repeating: every beginner lesson is free, forever. On top of that, you can preview any opening or endgame lesson — open it, play the first moves, see how it's built — and unlock one of them in full to work through from start to finish. No subscription needed. ◆ A rebuilt analysis board ◆ The eval bar sits above the board and says what it means in words — "White is winning (+1.4)" instead of a bare number — with Knighty explaining the position when you tap it. A new Analysis tab breaks the game down per player: accuracy, average centipawn loss, and a count of every move grade from brilliant to blunder — tap any of them to jump straight to the moves. Board controls are tidier: one flip button, one "⋯" menu. Promotions ask which piece you want instead of assuming a queen, and games starting from a set-up position are numbered correctly. ◆ Share a game straight into the app ◆ LearnChess now appears in your phone's share sheet. Send it a PGN, a FEN or a Lichess game link from anywhere — a message, a browser tab, another chess app — and it opens on the analysis board, ready to study. ◆ More improvements ◆ • Redesigned profiles: tap a field to edit it, add your country, see when someone was last online. Public profiles now always show the basics. • The leaderboard splits into Activity and Strength. • Your username is now your single public handle across the app. • Fixed a crash on startup. • No more half-translated screens, and the app remembers the language you picked. • The onboarding wizard no longer reappears once you've finished it.

◆ Free lesson preview ◆ You no longer need a subscription to look inside a lesson. Preview every lesson to see how it's built and what it covers — and unlock one of them in full, free, to work through from start to finish. ◆ A smoother way to create puzzles ◆ Sharing your own puzzles is easier than ever. We fixed a stack of bugs and reworked the flow: clearer steps, a screenshot importer that reads the position off the board for you, and a preview that walks through the solution instead of quizzing you on it. ◆ More improvements ◆ • Get an email when someone likes or comments on your puzzle. Turn it off anytime in settings. • Sharper AI coach and analysis: better on draws, promotions and near-miss lines.
