Great game

Just bad

Constantly calls check when neither player is in check. Calls check mate a stalemate. So essentially worthless.

Calls a stalemate when you have 6 players on the board and your computer opponent has only the King. That would definitely play out differently if the game continued.

Typically an opponent has the “option” to declare a draw or continue to play on to improve his game or win. THIS STUPID GAME NEVER GIVES THAT OPTION! In a game against another human I WOULD NEVER declare a stalemate. The creators of this version ALWAYS DO! It’s frustrating and STUPID.
