Take a Trick back. A Trick you've played but not yet used can now be handed straight back to your hand — on your phone and on your Apple Watch, which until now had no way out of one. Your Watch also tells you which Trick is in force and what it can't do. Also fixed: - Playing against the computer: it could cancel its own Trick before you got the chance to answer it. Your Cancel now always gets its turn. - Checkmate, stalemate and draws now take account of the Tricks you're holding and the Trick in force, so games no longer end while you still have a move. - A card can no longer promote a pawn — it promotes by reaching the last rank under its own power. - Challenge anyone straight from the Rankings table. - Fewer taps to play a Trick.
