Too "pretty" for its own good.
They made fancy glass pieces and shdows, but forgot about gameplay. The chess pieces are too hard to distiguish and are so close together they almost seem to overlap. Id rather have smaller pieces that I can see clearly.
Similarly, they put shadows on the chess pieces to look "cool" and "3d" buy the shdiws just make the black pieces look oblong.
Overall Im very disappointed. I expected better from Astoware.
