Lazy Chess 2.0: New Co-Op Mode + Major Stockfish Updates

Lazy Chess has received some long overdue love and attention!

  • A brand new local Co-Op Mode that will be featured in Steam Couch Co-Op Fest Feb 10th. Here players independently choose which move to make and only the worse of the two is accepted. A fun challenge for friends!
  • A Major Stockfish Update (16) as the engine has been re-integrated from the ground up to provide much, much more accurate experience even on older hardware.
  • Aesthetic Revamp: Emojis have been replaced with new animations and artwork has been updated.
  • General performance enhancements

Should there be any issues, the last build has been placed on the beta branch so if you'd like to downgrade back to the previous version, it's as easy as opening your preferences and selecting "opt-in to beta".

Thank you all for your kindness and support!
