Community guide, Windows 7/8/8.1 support, and the first round of bug-fixes.
Thank you everyone who's playing the game, sharing it with their friends, and exploring the game together.
Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 are now officially supported.
Fixed a crash related to non-ascii characters in your Windows username.
Fixed a few bugs related to puzzles.
- Puzzle draws are no longer counted as wins.
- Puzzle AI avoids a few blunders.
The puzzles Rook Tactics III, Combination Attacks IV, Tricky Checkmates I, and others may have unintentionally been marked as complete due to these bugs.
A community member has created a very good primer on the pieces and rules, that may help with any questions you're having.
