A new update is now live, addressing some feedback and improving the Puzzle Arena experience.
Clock: The clock should now pause the moment you make a successful move. It remains paused during the opponent's entire move animation (or while the next puzzle loads) and only resumes when it is your turn to act again.
High Score System Overhauled:
High scores are now tracked separately for each difficulty setting in applicable modes.
For Blitz Mode, records are also unique to each combination of time control and bonus settings.
Note: This creates a much fairer leaderboard, but it means all previous high scores have been reset. A fresh challenge awaits!
Important: Please be aware that, pressing the "Reset all settings" button in the options menu will also clear all of your saved Puzzle Arena high scores.
"Ghost Piece" Bug Fixed: A visual glitch where pieces from a previous puzzle (often after castling) could remain on the board, causing pieces to overlap. This should now be fixed.
"View on Lichess" Link Corrected: The 'View on Lichess' button for puzzles now links to the interactive puzzle page on Lichess, rather than just the source game.
