Hi everyone, some improvements have been added to the Chessboards feature, now you can play with move validation which means you won't make an illegal move by mistake. It will also detect when a king is in check -king-
The move validation feature is in beta testing at the moment, so if you find any gremlins (demo1) with it while playing don't hesitate to let me know the details (you can switch it on or off at any time during a game). Separately, it will now be displayed on the main menu if there is a waiting game, so it shouldn't take so long for another player to join. More refinements will be added soon to make this the best place to play chess on the mobile web.
UPDATE 05/09/14:
The Moves list has now evolved into Game history -wizard- This allows you to click on any move and view the position when that move was made. You can even replay or rewind the entire game from there for reviewing purposes!
Note that this feature will only be available for moves made from today onwards. Coming soon players will be able to agree to instantly reverse a game to any previous position via the Game history.

The way the board is displayed has now been upgraded, which should make it smoother to load and compatible with almost any phone (or web) browser. You will also be able to download the image of the board from any position. Note this change will not be apparent on old games unless a new move is made.

Register of players added. This will be gradually be refined to keep a comprehensive record of player activity, and also to provide interested opponents to select from (rather than simply your bud list).

The game history list now shows the proper notation for moves, for example Nf3 instead of g1-f3.

Players can now disable or enable public comments from the board, instead of making it a permanent setting when creating a board.

Ranked Match mode added. This is the upgrade you've all been waiting for, which will allow for serious competition and ensure formal settlement of matches. The players list has also been improved - it now automatically includes every player who has actively played in the last 30 days, and displays an Elo rating for each player (the default is 1200). This will be adjusted depending on the strength of your opponent and whether you win, lose or draw.
