- A link to a lesson, challenge or player that no longer exists now shows the owl and a button back home, instead of an error. - A Copy button under a position's FEN. - "Rate ChessEndings" in Settings, whenever you want. - Lighter screens: less text, the same information. - Fix: an account that already has a username skips the welcome steps.

- Take a move back in lessons and reviews (that attempt then no longer counts). - After a mistake, "Analyze" opens the board on the position before it. - Failed a challenge? "Practice it" opens that position, with hints and take-backs. - Stockfish 19: a stronger, lighter engine. - The two bishop and knight mate lessons leave the Beginner path, just before the full mate lesson. - Fixes: translations reviewed, the FEN of a position saved at move 0.

- New opponent, the human defence: it defends at the Elo you pick, mistakes included. These games earn no XP. - Email sign-up: you can resend the confirmation email, and after confirming, a button brings you back to the app. - The coach's owl now speaks from inside its bubble. - A lighter purchase screen, with the price after the founder offer struck through. - Fixes: plan name on small screens, "case" in the French voice, clearer explanations for some mates.

- All 318 lessons rewritten: each now goes to checkmate or a draw, with step-by-step explanations. - Translations redone in French, Spanish, German, Portuguese and Russian. - A new voice for the coach. - In lessons, your move appears first, then the opponent's reply a moment later. - 16 drills now have you play the defending side. - Various fixes: a link to a removed drill now opens its replacement.

- Endgame challenges: checkmate races against the clock, including queen against rook, with monthly and all-time leaderboards. - In lessons, the board now plays out the moves the coach describes. - The end of a drill celebrates your result, with confetti for records and new levels. - The main button now always sits at the bottom of the screen. - French, Spanish and German texts rewritten to read naturally. - Safer sign-in. - Fixes: stuck game scans, three wrong lesson explanations, and more.

- “My positions” now has its own view in the Endgames tab, next to Theory and Strategy. - Reset your progress from Settings without deleting your account. Your purchase, drill rating and scanned games are kept. - New app icon: the owl now fills the whole tile. - Safer sign-in with Google. - Fixes: a blank button at the end of a drill, text that was hard to read in dark mode, the keyboard hiding the sheet for renaming a position, search results that needed two taps, and many translations.

• Drills no longer lag or freeze in endgames with few pieces. • New navigation: the Leaderboard has its own tab, and Theory and Strategy now live together under Endgames. • Graded advice arrows: their colour shows how strong the move is, and the best defence has its own. • Streak: the app tells you when a freeze saved it, and celebrates the 7, 30 and 100 day milestones. • Tapping a notification now opens the next exercise directly. • Settings: a new More training section with our other chess apps. • Translations reviewed in all five languages, plus small display fixes.

• My positions has its own card on the home screen. • Lessons: arrows and highlighted squares now match the board they are drawn on, intros show the squares they name, and the two bishops mate plays its moves. • Fixes: a crash at the end of a lesson, a double Apple sign-in, and a session lost at launch.

• Notifications: a reminder before your streak ends and a nudge to come back. The app asks after a drill, and you can turn each one off in Settings. • Strategy: endgames to practise beyond the tablebase, with the next one suggested every time. • Theory and Strategy track your progress and filter the same way. • Saved positions can have a name. • Fixes: draws in large scan positions are judged correctly, the Path no longer gets stuck, the support form works, and many smaller fixes.

The course text was checked against the endgame tablebase. Where the two disagreed, the text changed, in all six languages. The coach was rewritten to be heard rather than read, in five languages. Your custom position now stays put when you leave a drill halfway through. The game bar is now all icons. Fixed: winning the position no longer hides the back and hint buttons.

Hints arrive faster and now name their source: the endgame tablebase or the engine. Forgotten passwords are handled inside the app, with no trip through a browser. Fixes: on Android the play bar buttons stay readable, and the live standing no longer tells you the win is slipping when the engine cannot tell.

A different defence every time you replay a position, never a weaker one: the whole ending gets practised, not one line. Play both colours on your own positions, to reach the defences the engine does not offer. Hints on demand, and a position in progress you can pick back up. Fixes: taking a move back no longer skews the verdict, and password reset works again.

A dark theme, with three settings: light, dark, or follow your phone. When several moves win just as fast, all of them are shown: a single arrow claimed a uniqueness the position did not have. You can take a move back on your saved positions. On Android the app keeps its own colours when the phone is dark: the board was losing its contrast.

Paste a FEN and play any endgame out to the end: your positions are saved and replayable. A button to start a position over without giving up the game. Reworked diagrams and icons, plus a number of display fixes.

First release. Play chess endgames against a relentless engine, with every mistake explained. Thanks for training with ChessEndings!
