What's New in Stupid Hard Chess

1.0.1

August 10, 2026

The chess is still stupid hard. The app got a little better around it. • New: Open Source Licenses screen (Profile → Open Source Licenses) — full source offer for the Stockfish engine that keeps beating you. • Better layouts on smaller iPhones, including the capture rails. • Captured pieces now count correctly in games with a pawn promotion. • Smoother onboarding and privacy-consent flow. • Fixed a flash when a piece reveal expired, and tidied the in-game status pill.

Money grab.

It’s a cool concept but anything worth using on this app is behind a paywall. it clearly was also 100% made with AI. There’s no multiplayer, in person mode.I doubt they actually care about the chess community. Chess.com has the option to hide the chess pieces within the theme settings. On top of the app being useless without paying there’s banner ads in obnoxious places. I may just vibe code this same exact app and make all relevant features free.

I like it

Having the pieces hidden made it a lot more challenging than I thought it would be. Pretty engaging I highly recommend if you wanna switch it up and make it interesting.
