This allows players of differing skill level to play each other in a fair game. Lower skilled players are awarded a number of auto-placed moves on the board before the game starts. These moves are always placed in the same locations on board, much like the handicap system in the old game Go
As a player having the highest skill level in the game I have to say that number of handicap moves needs to be tuned a bit. When playing with a player from Top 10, he got 43 moves of handicap. Considering the pattern of the handicap, I have 0% chances to win, when my opponent is doing just obvious moves (bumping up fields near my ones he always gets his fields ready to explode one move faster than me). Or maybe just the handicap pattern has to be modified? I suggest something less symetric.
