Great app!!! If only you could slide the pieces, that would be even better. I set it to 600 and still couldn't slide, but i think it was a bug. Restarted it and worked perfectly. Thank you a lot for the app. I have a supreme tournament 55 and can finally play against chss.com bots, too, thanks to your app! God bless!
