Do you people know any chess game (not only text files...) for ipod / mp4? If you do, it works with which models?
No stupid comments. Thank you.
I would like one to. I have a 30gig. suggestons???????????????????????
There's lots of decent chess cell phone games!
I have a neat one that's comparable to my play level, and is always fun to play (force move is important when playing computers).
Apple has released a chess program for the ipod (5th gen or classic or new video nano) it can be downloaded to itunes and placed on your ipod for only $5.00. It also has a backgammon game as part of the program though I have little interest in backgammon. There are 9 levels (monkey to master) graphics are good, but it does have a number of drawbacks. First in 2D mode, the mode I prefer to play in, you can't flip the board - black is always at the top. More seriously it has problems calling a draw. It seems to be confused over the 50 move rule, so that if you don't get a checkmate in 50 moves from the start of the game (rather than the last capture or pawn move) it will declare a draw. Also it can only the game currently played so you can't review past games. On the plus side it as a quiz mode which can be kind of fun - it has you find forks/pin/mates in 2 etc. However many of these positions are not ones you would see in regular play so they are far inferior to the tactics trainer on this website. Overall this program has a number of drawbacks, (the worst of which will hopefully be patched) but for a mere $5.00 is worthwhile if you have already shelled out the bucks for an ipod.
