Last update:
WHAT'S NEW IN 1.4.0 • CLASSIC PUZZLES — over 3,000 pure-chess tactics from real grandmaster games. No cards, just classic chess training to sharpen your tactical eye. • RNG MODE REWORKED — cards now arrive every 5 turns instead of every turn. Each empty card slot has its own independent countdown so you can plan your card economy. More chess, less chaos. • FRIENDS GO GREEN — the Friends tab dot turns green when at least one friend is online. Online presence dot in friend rows now sits inline next to ELO for at-a-glance status. • INVITE FLOW — new deck-review screen with deck preview, Ready / Change Deck CTAs. Critical race condition fixed: changing your deck after marking ready now correctly un-readies you instead of letting the match start without you. • CARD POOL EXPANDED — celebration popup completely revamped to match the Shop's premium pack opening (3D pack, tap-to-open, cascade reveal, summary view). • POLISH — info pill on selected cards hugs the card edge. Pack opening animations are smoother and snappier. Welcome tutorial now spotlights Classic Puzzles. • STABILITY — fixed a crash when abandoning a vs-AI match mid-think. Audio session properly configured at launch to prevent rare audio-routing crashes on iOS 26.4 with Bluetooth headphones. • APP SIZE — 37 MB of unused video assets removed.
