Deep Green 2.1.1 is ready for iOS 27 and polishes 2.1, the biggest update in years. - READY FOR iOS 27: Built against the newest SDKs, with a refractive app icon on iOS 27. - REDO A MOVE: Press and hold the Undo button to redo the move you just took back. And you can now take back the move that ended a game, while it is still open. - BOARD IMAGES, UPGRADED: Sharing a game now offers Save Image. Images follow the orientation the board is shown with, are named after the game, and carry it with them – players, event, date, searchable keywords, and the complete game – all preserved when saving to Photos. - STABILITY: All crashes reported from version 2.1 are fixed. Smoother piece dragging on ProMotion displays. Plus a batch of smaller refinements, and of course all the improvements in version 2.1, listed below. Deep Green 2.1 embraces iOS 26 and makes the iPad a first-class chess board. - REFRESHED DESIGN: Liquid Glass and a new app icon on iOS 26, improved chess piece design in the Game List, and a modernized welcome sheet. - MADE FOR IPAD: Dedicated menu bar, multiple windows, and refined trackpad, mouse, and Apple Pencil support. Squares highlight as you hover, and tints show where a dragged piece may legally land. - CHESS FILES: Import PGN and FEN files from the Files app, by drag and drop, or via AirDrop – with Quick Look previews and thumbnails showing the actual position. - BOARD IMAGES: Copying or sharing a game or position now also includes an image of the board. - SMARTER PLAY: Pick between variations with the Step Forward button, choose the engine's search depth for Suggest Move, and stalemate now correctly ends the game in a draw. - IN YOUR LANGUAGE: German, UK English, and Danish localizations. Plus a zoom transition into games, tips introducing features, and a long list of fixes. See the full change log via What's New in the app.
