Was v.good in the beginning. Made a move and the computer has not responded at all. It seems to be stuck in "thought mode"! Used a take back move helper to try the same move again yet same result! Count down timer for lives is way off! Takes hours for a single life to regenerate while it is supposed to one every 30 mins!! Latest glitch 27/12/24: stars not adding to total star count at all!! Update 29/01/25-Tried to email support on 31/12/24 and got no response at all!!!

Needs career mode with some 120+ different players with personalities. There could also be 64 tiered tournaments with a grand slam and year end championship mode (those being the hardest events to play). Each tournament has seedings [your best playing event(s) for each draw] and rankings (your best 25 results in the career). A chess winter and summer olympics every 4 years would be nice (remember that the Summer Olympics come first and the Winter comes two years later or vice versa). Thank you.
