That's not being a Beta tester, thats what you call being helpful.
I did encounter a minor problem whilst using BBC. I sent an email to Freeverse, within a few hours I had an email response from them.

That said, this new version provides a number of excellent features. It has the option of using the GNU Chess engine, making it nearly impossible to beat at the highest difficulty level. It features nicer music. As well, there is a new Hot Seat mode, allowing one to see both players.
As well, there are more games than just Chess included in the package; there's also Checkers, Reversi, Mancala, Backgammon, 4-in-a-Row, and Tic-Tac-Toe. At $24.95 US, it's an excellent deal.

So lemme make sure I understand this correctly. I pay you $25 for the ability to not win? Ooh fun!
That may be worth $26.

Hi all,
Since Big Bang Chess 1.0 was released six months ago, we've been working very hard to improve it and think it's the best featured, most Mac OS X friendlly, easiest to network, master-level playing Chess game available.
In addition to the tons of new features, it is now part of a suite of games "Big Bang Board Games" (including Backgammon, Chess, Reversi, Mancala and 4-in-a-row) that will be available in retail outlets for $24.95. See http://www.freeverse.com/bbbg/ for more information. All those games are yours for the one price. My apologies that [the other site] doesn't track that above, I'll make sure to post it in the description in the future.
We are a company, and that it is no longer "free" is pretty irrelivant; there was no promise or obligration. We released an early version to gather feedback and because we thought it was cool and stable enough that people would enjoy it. That version won't expire, so if you have it, nothing has changed. You're under no obligation and never were.
Anyway, we are one of the very few Mac-first game companies, and Big Bang Chess is a Mac product-- not a port of some year old PC game. We're proud of it, proud it won two Apple Design Awards, and very happy to have worked hard expanding it to include a suite of games, and bringing it to you for under thirty bucks. Try it, buy it if you agree it's way cool. Please. :-)
Thanks,
Ian
President, Freeverse.

Even the so called hardest level is much to easy. That is sad because it´s such a nice looking game
If I hear about a faster version, I will revisit this novel attempt at a new "universe of gaming"...
