Small Update For Bug Fixes

Hi Everyone! Two bug fixes are going in with this update · One of the boards in the Casual mode for the Sand Kingdom has been updated so the position is no longer starting with the king in check and causing Stockfish to crash. · When the promotion screen is up, you can no longer move other pieces within the level. This was causing a duplication error within Stockfish but is now fixed. Thank you…
