About StandByMee-Chess
StandByMee-Chess displays a randomly chosen chess position given by a FEN (Forsyth-Edwards-Notation) on the standby screen of our beloved Nokia N9. For this I use an included chess database consisting of more than 120.000 mate in #2 positions.

The active color is highlighted by a rectangle in the field of the corresponding king.

Users which are on PR 1.3
Please uninstall StandbyMee-Chess and install it again as the default css file libsysuid-screenlock-nokia.css - which takes care of the operator logo dimensions etc - will probably be redistristibuted by the update and will take effect after a reboot.

Installation
You can install the app from http://store.ovi.com/content/287445 resp. http://store.ovi.mobi/content/287445 from your N9.

You need to reboot your device after installation, or alternatively do as root
