Great overall, two annoyances
A really great chess app overall, but two annoyances keep me from giving it five stars:
1. When setting up a scenario and playing as black, Shredder automatically rotates the board (so that black moves up the screen) when you start play. If this isnt what you want, you have to manually flip the board back, and if youre willing to live with it, you set yourself up for annoyance 2.
2. When your board is rotated and you go to set up a new scenario, it stays rotated even if you clear the board, and you cant flip it back from the scenario editor. This means you a) forget its rotated and waste time setting up the position completely reversed, b) try to set up the position upside down, or c) exit the scenario editor, manually flip the board, and then go back into the editor.
Given that one of the main things I want this app for is playing out scenarios, these annoyances knock off a star. Fix them and its easily five-stars, the best chess app around.
