I believe this is proper fair use of this image. However, we should have a lower-resolution version of the image and a fair use rationale (see WP:IDP) must be added. howch e ng {chat} 17:21, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

I think resolution is fine. It is there to show the game board - but if it were any smaller, the text would be unreadable. Ian¹³ /t 13:41, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
