I'll keep this real short. The pieces are nice, the engine is expert strength or just short (1600-1700). BUT there is no way to play BLACK ?!? This makes it useless as a chess game for those who care about chess, and it's already useless for those who don't. You don't see this inability to play black show up in any review or anything, and this is very important to know! I think most people reviewing this game know nothing about chess. (you can control blacks pieces, but only from the white side of the board.)
