kanishou already proposed that, together with the reverse piece move (which I definitely want to try out, at a later point).

There are two schools of thought currently: http://wiki.maemo.org/Miniature/Deve...id_false_moves

- You tap directly a destination square and then the pieces that can go there get highlighted. You tap on the desired piece and done. Very interesting but I'm not aware of other software doing this so let's be prepared for experimentation and initial user resistance.

- you tap first on the piece and then tap twice in the destination square. If the first tap goes to the wrong destination you still can tap on the right one more carefully, twice.

Any preference?

ok to the rest of points about boot up time and snappy feeling.
