Super X Chess

Patch 1.21 is live
Fixed some issues brought by the new content of chess variants. For example..
-A couple of the variants didn't work. I tested the variants more to make sure that they work.
-White 2d Rook+Rook piece had wrong graphics, it didn't have the same look as all the other pieces.
-Pawn+Pawn piece was able to jump through pieces if it was on the 2nd rank (for white) or 7th rank (for black). (Pawn+Pawn piece couldn't be found from those places before the added chess variants).

Huge Content Update is Here! 60+ chess variants added!
Very happy news for you guys! This is not April's fool joke either!
There is a new "Scenarios" button included right next to the start game button, that will give the player more chances to customize the game!


Here is a couple of examples of what kind of chess variants are included:


and another one:


Happy playing! :)

Oh! And I first thought about increasing the price, but then I thought that okay, lets cut the price after the huge content update, because that feels more interesting thing to do for me! So now I cut the price! ːsteamhappyː

Patch 1.19 is live
Hello Super X Chessers!
Pleased to announce that this update includes..
1. Improved, more varied openings for the AI.
2. Cancel move functionality on right mouse button click
3. Other small fixes, such as prettier splash screen. ;)

Edit: Apparently there was still one really nasty issue with the tutorial, got that now fixed, too!

Enjoy!

Patch 1.18 is live
- Fixed Linux and Mac builds so that they should be now at least playable. (Sorry for not testing them very actively) And special thanks for Falconboy82 for reporting issues with Linux build.

-Added leaderboards shortcut button to "Played Games" submenu. This could be surprisingly important thing as now players could have more motivation to keep playing the game. For example, how about becoming the highest rated Super X Chess player in the world? Not that difficult right now. ːsteamhappyː

Demo patch
Demo is now also patched to include recent updates. (1.16, 1.14 etc.)

Build 1.16 is live!
-Observing old played games now functions bug-free.
-Tweak to credits.

Thanks to ZoG for pointing out some issues again.

Patch 1.14 is live
Issues that got fixed:
1: When a Pawn is promoted, the game always freezes in the battle of "local multiplayer".
2: "Played Games" does not work properly.

-Possibly fixed some problems with the game not rendering in 3d mode properly.
-Added more descriptions on why the game ends in a draw. The game now tells the cause of the draw like this: Fifty move rule, 3-fold repetition, Insufficient material to mate, Stalemate".

Thank you for ZoG for reporting these issues.

Patch 1.12 is live
-Made still one weaker AI opponent to improve the player experience for the majority of people, who don't have much chess experience/knowledge/skill.
-Fixed a rare but very annoying issue where the game would switch sides with the AI.
-Fixed promotion panel graphics issue: the "promotion option" images were unclear on 3d mode.
-Fixed difficulty setting issue after playing tutorial and then continuing to play the game that wasn't finished.

User Experience Tweak
According to the data the easiest AI difficulty level was too difficult for players without much chess playing experience. The chess engine difficulty range was increased and the play experience should improve for most players.

Demo hotfix
Demo build had issues when the game was over:
"the game doesn't exit from "White wins" screen. after i have managed to start the new game somehow i see that i have 2 wins and 2627 losses - my rating went from 1000 to 52 - how that could be?"

Thanks for shpasic for reporting the issue.
