I have released Project Invincible 2.10.

In this release my main focus was on stability. I have tested version 2.10 much more thoroughly than any previous version. I have also attempted to make the game behave more like the player wants if he/she does something unexpected.

  • stalemate was already detected
• Added undo and redo.
• Added options to change piece colors.
