I have long complained about the (to me) worthless or nearly worthless chess programs available for the N900. There was a lot of big talk about Miniature from Mr. Qgil and it has come to almost nothing.

All I wanted was a decent way to LOOK AT chess on my N900. I just wanted to play through games in books. No such luck.

So, I finally found a pretty excellent online solution from www.chessgames.com. This is a very nice site, and my opinion is that of a chess expert who spent years making my living in chess.

The problem has always been that most of the online sites relied on java or some other way to display chess games that wasn't fullly compatible with the N900 or was just lousy for one reason or another. Even now, if you go to chessgames.com almost all of the interface choices don't work for us.

But tonight I have been looking at games from 1922 and one from Paul Morphy in 1850 on that site. The interface I used is pgn4web, which only uses Javascript.

You can Google pgn4web for some hints, but it is quite straightforward. I didn't know that hitting the f would flip the board, for example.

www.chessgames.com is the site. You can use almost all its features for free, though I just paid them $30 because I was happy with them.
