Place the pieces yourself A free-placement editor: put any piece on any square, with no army budget and no start-position rules to obey. Study a game, build an étude and look for its solution, then play the same position out against the engine — or share it as a link and let someone else try. Eleven languages The app and maharajah.one now speak English, Ukrainian, Russian, Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese, Indonesian, French, Bengali, Urdu and Arabic. Pick yours in Settings → Options; Urdu and Arabic read right to left, and the board keeps its usual a…h orientation.

Play from Position Paste a FEN or a whole game into the Play menu and take over from there — no more rebuilding a position piece by piece in the editor. A pasted game arrives with its real move history, so you can step back through it and play on from any point. Stronger engine play Removed a filter that could override the engine's own choice and replace a correct move with a weaker one. The engine now plays exactly what it calculated, at every difficulty level. Fixes - A pasted position that was already checkmate or stalemate is now recognised as such: the game ends with the right result instead of a generic win, and a stalemate is scored as a draw.

Online matches now count towards your stats: wins, losses and win rate Minor fixes

Online Play is here! Create a private room, share the code with a friend, and battle over the internet. Each side builds a hidden army, then locks in and reveals. We also polished local network play and improved connection messages.

Game Saving Fixed: Resolved issues with saving game progress to ensure your matches are always recorded correctly. Precise History Navigation: Navigation through the game history now moves by half-moves (plies) instead of full moves for better precision and analysis.

Removed the long-press interaction on Move History for a more streamlined user experience. Layout Presets: Added the ability to save and load custom piece layout presets at the start of a match. Design Refinement: Updated the overall design with several new custom icons and UI improvements.
