Here's what new:
- The application is now 53% smaller resulting in faster downloads, updates and faster startup time.
- There should be fewer disconnects throughout the application now.
- Network traffic has been reduced throughout the application.
- Automatic draw detection added (finally!). If both players don't have the required pieces to checkmate, a draw is automatic. If a position arises in which neither player could possibly give checkmate by a series of legal moves, the game is an automatic draw. Combinations with insufficient material to checkmate are:
- king versus king
- king and bishop versus king
- king and knight versus king
- king and bishop versus king and bishop with the bishops on the same color.
- king versus king
- Turbo tournaments now auto-start more consistently.
- The end-game dialog is now clearer with a button for "Get a link to this game".
- Numerous other bug fixes, performance tweaks and cosmetic improvements.
We're working on a major new release - stay tuned!
