What's New in Chess Revision
1.5.0
October 30, 2026
PLAY IT OUT INSTEAD OF WONDERING Take any position over and play it to the end against Maia at your own rating: a game you scanned, a game you imported or a board you set up by hand. Take a move back, ask to see the best move, or change the rating you are facing without leaving the game. One game a day is free, and the game you spend it on stays free however long it runs. GAMES THAT DO NOT START FROM THE STANDARD POSITION Odds games and anything played from a set-up position now import properly from Lichess and Chess.com, instead of stopping at the first move only the real starting board allows. PICKING UP WHERE YOU LEFT IT A game you have changed is marked as such in Recent, and going back to the original now opens it at the move you branched away from. Long games open with the move list already on the move you are looking at.
