We recommend installing the CheerpJ Applet Runner extension on Edge, Chrome, or another Chromium browser. If your browser still does support Java, and you're not using this extension, make sure this site is listed in your Java exceptions list. You should find this in the Security tab of your Java control panel.

Fun!  My only issue is that the program seems to have a glitch where if a
player moves a knight to take a pawn and the pawn moves out of the square,
it automatically converts to a knight (not that big a deal, but it does
tend to make it a bit to easy to eliminate the last pawn).  

That said, I love the game concept itself, so ^_^.
