New Blindfold Journey: a 20-step Duolingo-style path that takes you from seeing the full board to playing fully blindfolded. The first steps are free, the full path is included with Pro. Coach tip on diagonal training: a quick math trick to spot whether two squares share a diagonal in seconds. Lichess voice mode: fixed a loop that kept repeating "illegal move" after every utterance. Voice play is now smoother and quieter. iPad on Mac: fixed a modal that could get stuck off screen. Plus smaller polish and stability fixes.
