As others have reported, the game freezes when the internet is slow. For example, last week, I played at a new, remote location. I tried to play five games, in a row. Each time, I logged into the game and played 5- 10 rolls without a problem. Suddenly, after I had rolled, the game would freeze and my move would not complete. My side timed out with a -36 to -90 point penalty for (“побег” = escape)! This problem should be corrected. It’s frustrating to be penalized due to a slow connection. I never see this problem at home where I have a high speed internet connection. Moreover, I see this problem occasionally when my opponent holds and commanding lead and times out due to побег. I win with 60 points. Presumably, they are in Russia with slow internet. Perhaps a 5 point penalty is appropriate, but definitely not 60!

Update: I'm giving up and removing the app. More and more times app allows me to move only 1 checker. After moving 1 checker another one is still highlighted, but turn goes to opponent. A few times, I moved only one checker and the turn switched to the opponent, but the interface still showed that it was my turn, and I couldn’t make any more moves. So instead of playing two checkers, I ended up moving just one. I don’t mind watching a 30sec ad after the game, but sometimes the close button doesn’t appear, and the only way to exit is to force close the app.
