Hi,
I must say that I think you guys are on the right track. After I read all information you have about this app I got all excited and thought this is IT in terms of the ultimate iphone/ipod touch app. First of all, your concept of sharing all this info with us the users is awesome. It makes you feel part of your app before even trying it! Second, the graphics, spot on! On these devices apps need to be eye candy and you deliver 100% on that! I also like your zoom feature to move pieces. However, why didn't I get hooked? There are three main reasons for that.

1. I played two games, both got disconnected after like 10 moves. I felt so sorry for the other person. I don't know if it was my wifi or his internet connection that had a hick up. Either way, not fun at all. I don't want to be a pain to other users if it was mine (my wifi is usually very stable as is my internet connection).
2. I would like to have the option to play with no clock. I have kids and at times I can't get absorbed into a game as is the case when the time is tick
ing…
3. I wish you had a confirm dialog as sometimes I might regret a move. with the zoom it is also easy to make a mistake.

So again, thanks for a great app! Some more tweaks and I think you will be my favorite app!!

On a side note, I am not a language expert, but Mangus's chess sounds to me like it refers to Magnus in plural. Is that the intention?

Thanks again!
