The server was down for approximately 1.5 hours this afternoon. On your iPhone or iPod Touch, Versus Chess would have been stuck at the “Connecting...” screen.

We believe this was caused by an update we put on the server as part of the development of Versus Chess 2.0.

Please accept our sincere apologies to everyone who was unable to play while the server was broken.

Version 1.05 has been released by Apple.

Changes:
By default your pieces will always be at the bottom of the screen
You can’t enter non-legal characters in the Username Option.
Turned off low memory warnings
Extended time per move
Added Russian Translation
Infrastructure Improvements
Networking Improvements

As always, we recommend upgrading your device to the latest firmware.

Version 1.04 has been submitted to Apple.

Changes:
Network Fixes (App should be a lot more stable on less reliable networks)
Minimized Low Memory Warning

We recommend you update to the latest firmware (2.0.2) for your iPhone.

Version 1.03 has been submitted to Apple.

Changes:
Fixed En Passant crash
Added Low Memory Warning

We recommend you update to the latest firmware (2.0.1) for your iPhone.

Our server was unreachable for approximately 6 hours after a network outage at our hosting provider. They have taken steps to ensure it won’t happen again. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Version 1.02 is ready to be submitted to Apple. We are waiting on them to approve or disregard version 1.01 so we can submit this newer version.

Changes:
Fixed Castling out of Check crash
Fixed En Passant not showing the proper capture destination
Fixed rare blank incoming challenge
