F…. ads

You can’t even play the game because of the ads

Can’t get past the ads

I was never able to get to the main menu because I was FORCED to watch an ad. I am not waiting for an ad to play before I even get to start a game.

The pawn moved backwards

The opponent’s pawn moved backwards from the 7th rank and captures my queen on the 8th rank. I’m pretty sure those aren’t the rules.
