Combat Response, King Reach & Match Review Fixes

Gameplay Fixes

- Defensive responses now punish only the guilty piece. Shadow, Mage, King Pawn, and through-Gate defense could previously threaten pieces that had nothing to do with the triggering capture. A response now fires only at the square of the capture that triggered it.

- The King keeps its full reach on domain squares (18x18). Standing on a domain sigil square no longer shrinks the King's two-square movement down to one.

- Match Review now keeps your full game history in saves. Saving mid-match used to store an empty review timeline, so a loaded game could only be reviewed from where you resumed. Mid-match saves now carry the complete move-by-move history, and your existing saves are repaired automatically the first time you load them.

Quality of Life

- The Play and Observer save-slot pickers now show full save details on occupied slots (board type, move count, piece counts, and save time) so you never overwrite a save blind.

Coming Soon: Altus Chess - Urban Play

You'll spot a new DLC button on the main menu. Two compressed tournament boards, 12x8 and 18x12, are on the way as our first board pack: the full piece rosters you know, with tighter ranks and much faster contact. The store page is in review now, and purchasing will light up the moment it clears. Everything above is free for every owner, board pack or not.
