DISGUSTING! Cant even open
by Xaeryh, 2022-06-26

bueno

The only problem I have with this extension is a very big one indeed. It may surprise someone to know, yet most of us have caught on to this fact already, cheating is just wrong eh, especially with the greatest most ancient game ever. And you better believe that I'm referring to Chess! Cheaters are losers I once heard someone say. And when a chess player-wanna-be cheats with some digital or textual tool, he or she will forever be unable to reach their own potential skill level in the game of chess.
