If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    Thanks - although the first is very user-unfriendly and rammed full of quite invasive advertising. The second is to play other people online, not a computer opponent.

    I'm just looking for a nice, simple, player v computer version, where the computer plays to a decent standard. Any ideas?

    An updated version (well worth the download) is now available.
