What's New in Boxwood Chess
1.2.4
July 10, 2026
Finishing a chapter is now a moment. Complete the last puzzle and Boxwood acknowledges it — with a clear path to the next chapter, the next course, or the Studies collection when everything is done. Also in this update: - Puzzles finished by viewing the solution now count toward your progress, so your place in a chapter is always exactly where you left it. - Chapters resume at your first unsolved puzzle, and Next skips puzzles you have already solved. - Finished chapters and courses are marked Complete on the course and home screens. - Fixed a dead end where a wrong answer on a choice puzzle offered no way to try again.
