- NOTE: This version removes the old system for playing online games and chatting with online opponents. If you're still playing games using the old system, please finish those games and switch to the new system. (You were told this transition was going to happen more than a year ago.) The new system is called "Play online" and is accessed via the cloud button on the main toolbar.

- Added a message to explain that "Play online" games are not necessarily real-time
v1.9.0iOS
- This update adds a new system for playing online. You can access it by tapping on the cloud button on the main toolbar. It should be much easier to use and more reliable than the old system. The old system is still included, so if you have active games, you can finish them. But it will be removed in a future version of tChess. I hope you enjoy the new system!
