Seven boards, redrawn. • Classic: a new free board with the standard chess pieces on an ivory and green tournament board. Treehouse, Classic and Coral Reef are all free. • Every board is now a lit place, with its own materials, frame and props. • New colours for Castle and Fossil Dig, and redrawn pieces you can tell apart at a glance. • A new board gallery: each theme leads with its signature piece. Tap it to hear its tune. • The squares are the right colour: the bottom-left square is now dark, as on every real chess board.
