*2026-08-04*

Было бы отлично, если б добавили в приложение статистику количества прохождений сценариев. С учетом побед и поражений.  
Чтобы можно было увидеть, в какие сценарии еще не играл. А если играл, то сопровождалась ли партия победой?

Добавьте, пожалуйста, перевод на русский язык сценария “Turn of a page”.
