We have incorporated a local chess engine into this version. This allows you to: - receive hints in 2-player mode - play against the engine locally (without an internet connection). We have limited the engine so that you have a chance of winning. - simply set up a position in “Free Analysis Mode” and change it freely. The engine immediately calculates the best sequence of moves and evaluates the position. This works similarly to the old “TASC R30/40 chess computer.”

In addition to the LiChess mode, there is now also a 2-player mode. Here you play against another person via your e-Board. The app only controls the moves and records the games (you can then distribute the PGN file using the cell phone share function). The clock display can be adjusted very flexibly, e.g. where the cell phone is positioned in relation to the board. Do you have an interesting game but your opponent has lost on time? Then you can still continue the game in 2-player mode. Withdrawals are very easy via your e-Board by switching on the withdrawal mode and then every previous position is counted as a withdrawal. So you can easily return to a previous position to try another move. We have also introduced an option in the relatively new “Focus” mode (from the previous version) that simulates a real clock. Here you first have to press a button until your move is transmitted.

- Focus mode: Concentrate on the game! In this mode, your cell phone only displays the chess clock. If there are any differences between the board position and the position on LiChess, the cell phone briefly switches back to the board view. - Chess960 mode: You can now also play Chess960 (Freestyle Chess) on LiChess. - You can now also take part in tournaments if the starting line-up differs from the standard (themed tournaments)
