  • This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Bug fixes — Resolved a critical bug where stalemating the AI (or getting stalemated) left the game frozen with no way to reset. — Pawns Only weekly challenge now lives up to its name — both ranks are pure pawns with the king. — Achievements unlocked mid-session now reflect immediately in the Achievements screen. — Slightly updated main menu UI
