Thanks a lot bro ! Makes me feel BOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
Oh wow, loved it and THEN that update. Change web page permission needed? Raided an eyebrow.. but then a great victory with the french wing gambit, learnt from Gingy himself, and that update kicked in.. Great app, thanks mate!
Forgot I installed this and was playing a game. Made me jump when the opponent resigned and then with pressing anything BOOOM!
