Hey kanishou!

Let me first say, WOW! Those screen shots of yours look absolutely gooey!

I sure hope you'll be able to package together a version for us lowly N8x0 owners.

Even if the chess project in this thread won't support Maemo 4, your viewer would be more than enough to keep me happy!

Also, is it possible to include some type of "chess puzzles" feature with this current build as well? It sounds doubtful but thought I would ask anyway.

@qgil
I really like the way you think!

Your ideas are pretty much spot on and there's not that much for me to offer. Seems like you already know the direction you want to take with this.

I do like the concept of the board being in the middle of the screen, especially in landscape mode. This way you could have player information on each side of the board creating an overall visual balance to the screen instead of one side being too overloaded.

Great stuff so far!

This was posted quite some time ago, but for those who didn't catch a couple of random posts in the gaming forum, I'll mention it again.

There's Bobby Fisher Teaches Chess


And also Fritz 2.51 (available now as freeware)


Both of these play quite well in Dosbox with the correct settings.

Just something for others to consider while we all patiently wait the 19 months for this current chess project to get a crap turd, beta release. *lol*
