• **New — "Ask Pip":** during a game, tap the ⋯ menu → Ask Pip for a coaching nudge on what to think about (a hanging piece, king safety, development) — guidance, not the engine's move. • **New — Share your best move:** after a game, the review's Share button can export a polished card of your best moment to post anywhere. • **New — "Work on this":** the Puzzles tab now spots the tactic theme you're weakest at and drops you into a focused drill in one tap. • **Full VoiceOver support** — Pip now speaks every result, and buttons, streaks, and stats are properly labeled for screen-reader users. • **More accurate puzzle ratings** — your rating no longer drifts upward on retries, Puzzle Rush is its own thing now (it won't nudge your rated tactics rating), and a different-but-correct checkmate is always accepted. • **Smarter game review** — a strong move is no longer occasionally flagged as a mistake. • **Reliability polish** — clearer new-game feedback, scanned games open in Review, plus assorted end-of-game fixes. Thanks for playing! — Pip
