Simply Chess - Premium Upgrade!

Finnish translation! Premium discount! +more little fixes

Pushed an update to Windows yesterday (same fixes will go out to Mac & Linux on the next rebuild). The main newness is that there is now a Finnish (Suomi) translation!! Big thanks to vsi65 for the translation!! Updates since the last announcement:

Fixed the directions of the gamePad and keyboard when playing with white not on the bottom in Chess.
Fixed a bug where clicking "Rejoin" very quickly after entering the Online Game Menu Screen could cause it to crash.
Removed the King from the Piece Counter part of the HUD. This was always 0, but it bugged some people that it was there.
Fixed the "Ready" button in the Online Multiplayer some more... potentially fixed other button clickability issues. Basically, MouseUp was refreshing the Input events even if the events weren't being handled. So if it refreshed and the button was already up... maybe that was the issue? Regardless, this fixes our test case for the Ready button but might not affect the other button issues.
Quieted the Log File a little bit by removing the "Loading item" lines since we haven't had a problem with asset-loading in a LONG time.
Finnish translation thanks to vsi65!

Also, Premium is 35% off for a couple of days... please get it and support our continued development of Simply Chess... thank you!! :D http://store.steampowered.com/app/451690/
