Medium is hardest... And other issues

1) The medium setting seems more difficult than the hard setting. If you find "hard" not challenging enough, try switching to medium. This is strange because hard is much slower than medium. On hard I win 95% of the time--on medium I win only half of the time. I wonder what would happen if the developer played "medium" against "hard"...
2) Navigating away from the game abandons any progress in the current game. There is no "save game."
3) No option to let the AI start the game. No option to play white.
4) There is no randomization in The opponent. You can "memorize" gameplay because each AI skill has only one play for each possible set of choices. In order to introduce some variety in your play--you have to make moves that seem silly just because you want the opponent to be unpredictable.
5) The game does not inform you if the opponent passes or if you must pass. You have to figure that out yourself, which can be annoying if you want to keep your attention on the board.
