5-stars: "Scintillating idea. Streamlined controls and sublime visuals synthesise to create an almost perfect experience."

5-stars: "Almost THE BEST Brain-game I've seen - This game is fantastic on many levels."

5-stars: "Wonderful implementation - Wow- thankful. I love the way the bishops move in a teleport like fashion across the lines. (try the game to see what I mean). Truly great execution. If this is all original hats off and even if derivative the execution is top notch. I love how the game is not bloated either. It's under 1MB. Love it."
