Yeah, I already got a new version available. This one has some really
nice updates!
You can download it from the following link:

http://www.jeremyglassenberg.com/StrategyChess.gg

Updates:

* Added different difficulty levels for Single Player Mode (easy,
medium, hard, and brutal). The more difficult levels can actually put
up a good fight!

* Improved the computer player's strategy for all difficulty levels

* Fixed a minor issue in Multi Player Mode, for users who have a
long list of buddies on GoogleTalk. Now, there is a scroll feature so
that you can go through your entire list of online friends, instead of
just a select few.

Let me know if you find any issues with the latest version, especially
multiplayer mode.

Also, when working on the computer player, I noticed it was making
exceptionally bad moves in my previous versions. This was actually due
to a mistake in my code that, although not harming the program, caused
the computer player to make some very bad moves. If, with the new
version, you notice the computer player doing something that you find
incredibly "stupid", please let me know, as I am still working on
improving the way it thinks (heads up, it will make plenty of "stupid"
moves in Easy Mode, as the computer is intended to be very forgetful in
that mode).

Keep checking for future versions. The next big plan: a smaller game
for 3-4 players!

Ugh. Apparently there were a couple of bugs in the multiplayer mode,
so that part wasn't working as of today's update. I have uploaded a
fix for the bug, so multiplayer mode should be working without error
now.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. I should have
noticed this problem before making the update public.

If anyone finds any additional issues, please let me know as soon as a
problem comes up, so that I can fix it quickly. So far, I have
corrected any identified bugs within a matter of hours.

Thank you, those who have provided me feedback, and informed me of
those few errors when they occurred.

-Jeremy
