I don't know how to play chess, and thought this game would help me learn because it said its "more suited for beginners". I even selected "Novice" in the game choice, and each game went so fast, I was Checkmated before I knew what hit me. I'm sure this is not a game for beginners like me with no knowledge of the game, but its misleading to say its "more suited for beginners". It should say for beginners with some knowledge of the game.
Just wanted to warn anyone who might be a beginner like me and might want to download the game.
V4.01
new version out
The game is back online under http://pawn.sitesled.com/
@Pete Tong: Because the website is gone, the download is not the installer, but a zip archive of the program provided by Andrew (TPFC). "How to extract" should say:
Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch the program by double-clicking on Pawn.exe.
