CH960 — Chess960 play & learn

A fresh look: new icon, light and night themes, a friendlier font and a new home with Play, Learn and Profile tabs. Nine board colours and a lively board — a wave after each move and confetti for a solved puzzle (turn off with Reduce animations). Three move-sound sets, soft interface sounds and optional background music. Every puzzle now shows its goal, like “Mate in 2”. Settings are grouped.

Ring when a friend accepts (Google Play version): send a challenge, put the phone down — when your friend joins, it rings and one tap takes you to the board. Challenges wait up to 24 hours. Course: each day starts with a short 3–5 puzzle session on the day's idea, with a worked example. Best first move: your line and the best line shown separately. Sharing a puzzle no longer reveals the answer

First Google Play build. The app's package is now com.ch960.game — installs of earlier sideload versions do not update in place; install this one anew. Country flag next to the nickname in online games and for spectators. Castling hint when a plain king step and castling look alike. Target Android 16.
