This is genuinely the best jigsaw program I’ve had the pleasure to use. I’ve been searching for a long time for a jigsaw puzzle program that has it all: custom jigsaws, high piece counts, multiplayer puzzling, and a single up-front price, and after all this time, I found JGSW. While there are a few small bugs having to do with physics (the pieces have physics!) over a network, just about everything else is perfect. Very well done, Sean!

This is the best iteration of a puzzle game I’ve played yet. Plus it lets you use whatever image you want with no issues! The pieces feel pretty darn solid to rotate and place and move. Every once in a while the puzzle will get overexcited about a particularly important snap and “bounce” up, but usually the piece physics are just fine. More people need to try this one, honestly. No regrets. And not only is it fun on your own, but it has multiplayer!
TL;DR: If you love doing jigsaw puzzles and want a digital version, it’s this one. You won’t be disappointed.

Avoid at all costs, and any price.
Maybe I am missing something, but it seems broken.
I have played with the easy map a bit, and gotten results that seem contradictory.
It is hard to explain without diagrams, but in one section of the map ‘adjacent’ seems to be defined differently than another section.
My guess is that instead of there being an algorithm to determine what is and isn’t a match, the designer filled in the grid manually, and got it wrong. Just a guess, of course.
On top of how hard it is too see, and the fact that the presentation does nothing to try and help you, it is a really mess. The complete lack of instructions doesn’t help.

Game mechanism is interesting
but it runs not so smooth，and i think i need a “seting” to set my windows size or my eyes will feel sick in the long term
Look forward to your future updates

Puzlkind Jigsaw Puzzles
Update(?): They have stopped updating the counter/leaderboard since July 2021.
–———————————————-
I love puzzles, especially 5000pc. Although this table top mod’s maximum pc is 2000, it is enough to occupy your time and mind like doing a real puzzle.
This game is created by a collaboration of 3 persons in a community where they meet up for Pie and Puzzle Sunday : ) before the the 2019 Pandemic.
+Strong Positives(Great choice of Software) :
Those who have tried ‘playing’ Tabletop/board games on Steam would know that, those ‘games’ do not come with instructions and tutorial, hence most of the time 2 players would be confused and just be flipping or throwing chips and cards around the board as there is no program to set the rules for where the chess pieces can go or cannot go.

If you like puzzles then you’ll like this game. Very relaxing to sit and do this in the evening with my glass of wine.

I’m really enjoying this game. The AI is challenging, but not impossible. Fun to play and exercise the brain.

I love the board game, it is one of my favorite board games, and this is actually a pretty good implementation of the board game. Unfortunately this digital version is as buggy as can be for multiplayer, and seems to have gotten worse over time. I would not recommend you purchase this game if you want to play against any actual people. I am generally pretty understanding of little bugs and things, but this game has not seen any attention in years and these issues definitely existed then as well.

Do not buy this! I have yet to be able to play a game online because no matter who tries to set up the room to play (me, or any of my friends who I convinced to get this game), the room will either (a) not be created, or (b) be created, but not allow anyone to join the game, sometimes going into a near infinite look of “Are you sure you want to join this room?” dialogs.
When a room is created, it looks like it is corrupt. My user name is KDLadage; the room name when I create the room is “’s RoomKDLadage” – this would be nothing more than amusing were it not for the fact that none of my friends can join the room.

Fritz Chess 17 Steam Edition
Review for Fritz Chess 17 Steam Edition (english and french)
1. English
With Fritz 17, in addition to the Fritz 17 engine, you get a completely new chess engine that was created with the help of a neural network based on the AlphaZero approach. There are also new exciting functions for creating and practicing opening repertoire. Based on LCZero technology, a neural network was trained with Grand Master games for over a year. The developers named the result Fat Fritz, which, however, needs a very powerful NVidea graphics card to achieve the full game strength.

UPDATED
Changed to positive since, I have to admit, slowly finding out content is there, just hidden behind a really unclear and buggy - for me - interface!
First I have to click “NO” on every prompt it pops up when I launch some of the modules or menus items (at least this is what’s happening on my system…), then it seems, so far, everything runs, their website connection too - playchess - only thing you are logged in as guest with sort of limited privilege, which is fair, tbh.
The Easy Game is what actually it says…easy with limited functionality…Then, if you want to access the full features, you can only via launching a game from the database or running the classic menu and then working from there ( as pointed out by Knusperzwieback in a reply to my review!)
