- Inflation can now convert enemy SeaWeeds i.e. when used on a SeaWeed it changes the owner of the SeaWeed to the one who used the Inflation
- Fixed converting enemy SeaWeeds with re-using SeaWeed on it in "anyone can move anyone"-mode (i.e. it will work now it the "Train alone" mode)

- Fixed a bug that caused Inflation, Deflation and Hot Sauce weapons to kick players from the server after unlocking certain achievements (Tusk's fault!)
Chess for idiots - a discipline of intellectual sport, invented and initiated by Ozjasz Goldberg. Seemingly chess for idiots resembles regular chess. The game is played on the same board using the same pieces. However, this is where the similarities end, because everything that would discriminate intellectually against players was eliminated from the rules. Therefore, there are practically no rules, and players can make any move with any pieces and capture any number of opponent's pieces. The victory is determined by the IQ (the lower, the greater the chances of winning) and the decision of Ozjasz Goldberg.
