What's New in Marshal Chess

1.7.0

September 30, 2026

• Board themes: nine board-and-piece colour schemes. Choose one in Settings, or switch mid-game from More → Settings and watch the board change instantly. The default is now the lighter Warm Ivory; the original kaya-wood look is still available. • Nearby Duel clock: each player has a main time; once it runs out, every move gets its own countdown (15 seconds by default). The clock shows a single number, pulses every second during the countdown, and the game is lost when it reaches zero. • Take-backs in Nearby Duel: after you move and before your opponent replies, you can ask to take the move back; it is undone if your opponent agrees. • Leaving mid-game no longer forfeits: the player who stays keeps the game and waits, and the player who left can return to the same game from the lobby. • Smoother piece movement, and a fix for the board appearing too small after joining a table on iPad in landscape. • A default player name is suggested based on your device language the first time you use Nearby Duel; you can change it at any time. • Further Liquid Glass refinements throughout the app. • Note: both devices need this version to play Nearby Duel together.
