Really cool, better than any of the bought ones. I also got afew games grayed out, do I have to buy them?

I see... It needs to be registered to unlock the 3 reamining games (Checkers, Xiangqi and Shogi). I'm sure I will do that soon as this is a great little program.

Lots of fun! Thanks! Was hoping for the checkers to work as well though. I see the button is there for checkers, but it is grayed out. Obviously there are plans for the expansion, but leaves me curious to know when you might polish it off.

Cool graphic at beginning of the game and easily readable. But when I placed the handhelds king in check, it allowed the king to castle to get out of check!
