A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

This is a small update to fix a recently discovered bug. - It is no longer possible to submit certain illegal moves by clicking them really fast. Don't ask.
Changelog: Big changes to the in-game guide. New time controls (clocks) for competitive matches, and a new splash screen. Puzzles! Added 14 puzzles, some easy and some hard. Minor modifications to existing puzzles for better tutorialization. New Rook Tactics IV (old IV is now V). New Bishop Tactics IV and V. Modified Bishop Tactics I and II. New Pawn Tactics I, II, and III. New King Tactics III. New Opening Traps II and V (old II and III are now III and IV). New Unicorn Tactics I and II. New Dragon Tactics I. New Tricky Checkmates III.

In the past few weeks, a series of patches have collectively included the the following changes: Misc: Mac and Linux versions are available (since about 8/29). Colorblind mode for r/g blindness. Some changes clarifying the purpose of various UI elements. Bugfixes: Very minor graphical bug fixes. Fixed a bug that caused CPU opponents to get stuck "Thinking..." in certain conditions. Fixed bugs that caused the game to get stuck "Looking..." in certain conditions. All known causes of this bug are addressed in the current version. New variants: The community has developed some very sharp lines on
Theoretically, I like chess. I learned it at a very young age, and defeated the uncle who taught me, hollowing his soul and cursing myself to a decade with nobody to play it with. That decade probably kept me from being the kind of person who memorises moves and has special names for things from a textbook. In a way, it made me. 5D Chess, on the other hand, makes me feel like that uncle likely did. This is not possible. How. What. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? I have yet to experience a single defeat or victory that I understood. And I don’t like it. (more…)
A few minor patches have been released over the weekend to address the following issues: One known cause of the a "black screen" issue, believed to affect Intel HD 4000 and Intel HD 5500 GPUs. One crash on startup related to having zero audio devices. Also, the community has been hard at work! We've got puzzle guides, picture guides, meme guides. Check it out! A Guide on Pieces Moving Through Time And Timelines SPOILERS: Solutions and explainations of puzzles.
I'm not going to lie, '5D Chess With Multiverse Time Travel' is not a string of words I thought would exist, and yet it's now quickly become the most important sentence in existence. I like to scroll twitter as I'm a big fan of memes and it's become my primary source for information (once checked, of course) and sometimes it allows me to find gems that I can't help but share with you fine folk here. If you thought Victoria 2 on the Nintendo Switch was a wild ride, you ain't seen nothing yet - say hello to the only version of Chess you'll ever need again (maybe), which we were delighted to disc
Thank you everyone who's playing the game, sharing it with their friends, and exploring the game together. Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 are now officially supported. Fixed a crash related to non-ascii characters in your Windows username. Fixed a few bugs related to puzzles. Puzzle draws are no longer counted as wins. Puzzle AI avoids a few blunders. The puzzles Rook Tactics III, Combination Attacks IV, Tricky Checkmates I, and others may have unintentionally been marked as complete due to these bugs. A community member has created a very good primer on the pieces and rules, that may help with any que
I’m sure you, a genius much like myself, have often looked at chess and thought “This is an idiot’s game for babies, fools, and foolish baby idiots.” I’m sure you, a genius much like myself, will therefore be thrilled to see the launch of 5D Chess With Multiverse Time Travel. And you, a genius much like myself, will be only too keen to play chess across extra “spatial, temporal, and parallel dimensions”. You, a genius much like myself, certainly will not read the marketing boast “It’s the first ever chess variant with multiverse time trav
