Sounds a bit like trioVD , great music .. and great game , can't get any better than this!

[sych1399]

There were a few questionable moves here. Not that I could beat either, much easier finding moves as a spectator.

[N0tyeet]

the music is horrible

[KristianEaton]

im actually disappointed with the moves
