Appears not to be working in Live Chess (/live) after a recent release, only in /play. This is a problem because there are some bugs playing with DGT boards in /play so it is still necessary to use /live when playing with a DGT board. I hope the developer can fix this. |

Very nice idea! I love Danny! However, he is a little bit repetetive like early version of EA Sports Fifa Soccer 1996. |

Great! The only problems are that in special modes or winning by abandonment, it will just say "(color) WINS BY..." and doesnt say anything. It's still epic though |
