Scid would work GREAT rotated except that it won't go full-screen for me.
For example, I can open an xterm and make it full screen just fine. But the moment I type scid it switches to non-full screen. This is a shame, because the board can be much larger when it is rotated. I think it could go to a board size 6 from the menu, whereas in normal rotation mode it only goes to about 4 before getting cut off.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
On another topic...
By the way, on my new Centro phone I am using something called Openchess to look at Smyslov's games, and it works pretty well even though it is rather primitive. It's even fun for me to play chess with, because at its low level I can thrash it mercilessly, often getting mates in 17 moves or so. But I mainly use it for looking at games in books.
It might even be nice to have Openchess (which can be found on the sourceforge site) ported on to the tablet.
