To ensure fair game play, even when moves sent remotely cannot be exactly simultaneous, your move and your opponent's move are sent to a central web service, not directly to each other's mobile devices. Only when both moves are received by the web service does the service send the result to the players' devices. Like this, there is no opportunity for a player to cheat by knowing your move before making his or her own move, so you can be sure that every game you play is fair.
