Changelog:
Congratulations, your chess game is really extraordinary, except for one important detail, you cannot replay completed saved games, or can you?
The latest version (1.0.8) now has the ability to replay completed games using the PGN export and load feature.
Unfortunately, you can not replay completed games. I will probably add this capability in the future. Currently, the only way to replay a game would be to save the game at a certain point and then load it once the game is done.
Thanks for your comment!
Hi please allow the ability to choose a difficulty setting
You can change the difficulty by going to the Options -> Difficulty menu. Please let me know if there are any problems.
I really love this game. Excellent! would like to transition from mid-level difficulty (level 10?) to something a bit higher, but the slide jumps about 5 clicks to the right, and again to top level. I can’t seem to get smaller increments of difficulty. Is the game built this way, or is it possible to get smaller increments?
Thanks for your feedback. Yes, it is built this way. Hopefully in the future, more difficulty settings will be added.
Hi your app crashes constantly on IOS 9.2.3 iPhone 6S plus. In the middle of a game and then takes me back to the middle of a random game unplayed ages ago bit never savrd.
