Impossible to win

It is impossible to win if you’re not the one starting the game.

Basic game with minimal ad interference

I like how basic and clear this game is. Experts might not enjoy the announcements of whose turn it is or when pieces are captured, but I like its simplicity and options when playing the CPU. Too many newer versions have major ad interference or don’t allow for modifying difficulty settings without paying up front.
