What's New in White Pawn

2.13.3

August 9, 2026

Signing in works again on iPhone and iPad - The App Store build refused every sign-in with "Invalid email or password", even when the email and password were right. Nothing was wrong with the account: the part of the app that talks to the server was missing from the released build. Fixed, and the release process now checks for it before a build can be uploaded. Also in this release - Everything from builds 217 and 218, which had not reached the App Store or the Play Store yet: puzzles that wait for your physical board, clearer solution playback, the home-screen pull-down fix, faster messages and store, and the board clock fixes. See the entries below.

Doesn’t work at all - don’t bother

Tried for days and it still won’t connect my chessnut board to lichess. Which is the *whole freaking point* of the app.

I’ve tried a million fixes trust me.

I’ll change my review if they fix it. Right now- don’t even bother unless you enjoy submitting bug reports.

Freezes on Puzzles

Sadly the puzzles don’t work and freeze while doing the first move.
Playing on Chessnut go.
Certainly would love to have puzzles on my go with led and all!
Make it happen please!

Excellent chess electronic board app

This person who created it did an excellent job with this white pawn app. The new Chessnut app doesn’t have the draw by agreement & takeback move.
