What's New in EyeGambit
1.5
August 15, 2026
1) The memory game got a quiz option, so you can answer questions about the position instead of having to recreate the position. 2) The Piece Movement training got a complete makeover, with multiple minigames added. I recommend trying the Assassin minigame for the queen movement. Is a lot of fun. 3) A Voice Recognition setting was added (but is in beta with fixes still needed, so only available for local games) 4) You can connect to your Lichess account and send/receive challenges with friends. This is the last feature added so it might need some improvement in the following version, but you should be able to play a fully blindfold game with your friends through lichess using EyeGambit.
