tChess 1.5 is now available for download from the App Store!

January 2, 2010
tChess version 1.5 has been submitted to Apple for review and will be available soon. This is the biggest update to tChess since its original release! tChess now lets you specify an ELO rating to adjust the computer's difficulty, and it has a new "Profile" feature that allows you to play rated games against the computer and track your progress. tChess Pro also has a new PGN Database feature that allows you to download and view databases of chess games (in standard PGN format).

The new version (1.4) of tChess is on the App Store now. Both Lite and Pro get the captured pieces display, and a fix so the toolbar icons return to their intended size in OS 3. A new feature in Pro is the ability to Copy & Paste games in standard PGN format, making tChess Pro one of the (very) few apps that can import games.

The next version of tChess (1.4) is currently in testing to make sure it works well on OS 3.1, 3.0, and older versions of the iPhone OS. The update has many new features, including the much-anticipated display of captured pieces.

I just played a 10-game match between tChess Pro and another chess game on the iPhone, Caissa Chess. tChess Pro scored 90%, which means tChess Pro is over 380 ELO points stronger than Caissa Chess.
