The game is good, althoigh I wish the computer would play out the game so that I can work on my end game. I'm a beginner and would like to play all the way to the end.

Decently plays on mid to upper levels, but seems to overly prefer 3rd file rook against Black's static rook on highest levels. Little variety in how it plays and seems it can be "forced" into losing variations that better players would hardly ever use.

Honestly my biggest problem is the only visual options of the piece appearances / themes are 1. Two sets of traditional japanese pieces which can be difficult for me to use... Or 2. the very boring basic Roman letters, which I don't like at all, makes the game look and feel very boring. This needs pieces for a western player such as me to enjoy the look of. Basic letters are more for word games to me, I don't like it. I notice many japanese programs do this... Please offer visual pieces.

When I started the game, my screen was completely empty, except for the ad at the bottom. Uninstalled.
