FWIW, I agree.

Also, I think the both of the last two status messages should be reworded to 
make it clearer what they’re really saying (e.g., for the the last one: 
‘There are no more possible moves’). I’ll leave it to someone else to decide 
the exact wording, as English isn’t my first language.
