Update

Summary


This update comes equipped with a greatly improved AI for singleplayer. There is a bigger range of difficulty to choose and AI player responds much quicker than before. We implemented a new and more diversified Opening Book that takes into account the frequency of real chess games moves in order to make the AI feel more natural to play against. Achievements have also been added along with a new option to overview previous game. Now both Singleplayer and Multiplayer modes have the option to play with increment per move. For new players, we have created a basic tutorial on Steam. Update also comes with several new facilities that are listed at the bottom.

[New] Faster and stronger AI


Harder AIs are much more difficult to play against while easier AI modes are less difficult than before
