Hi there
This blog is dedicated to my favorite game - Ugolki(it means "corners" in Russian).It is a board game, sort of simplified version of Chinese checkers. The beauty of this game that it has very simple rules but allows enough depth for strategical challenge. It's also easy going and usually takes only about 5 minutes per game.
I decided to create one and put on the web - for free - so try it on http://ugolki.appspot.com .
The interface is intuitive, when you click on a piece, all possible moves are highlighted.
In short - the rules are like this :
Red player moves first.
A move can be to adjacent square (top, bottom, left,right) or a jump over piece of either player.
Whoever moves all his pieces to the starting positing of the opposite player(i.e. to the opposite corner - hence the name Ugolki - Corners) wins!
Have Fun!
Let me know if you encounter a bug. Also if you would like additional features, like score tracking or more sophisticated computer AI player.
Also, let me know what you think, constructive critics are welcome!

By the way, I currently work on the google wave aware version of Ugolki, that would allow human vs. human mode. If someone interested to try the wave version when it will be ready - just "wave" me at vega113@googlewave.com
