Hi guys, I am really enjoying your site and congratulate you on your success.  One suggestion I have is to make the website easily accessible via mobile phone as I would love to be able to play on the go.

Thanks,

Pawn_shop.

Maybe Chess.com should market a portable device with a dedicated link to the site...  That way I can talk on my cell phone while I'm driving and still have my full attention for chess....

Ha! The iPhone. On their commercial they say it takes you to the web, not a mobile version of the web, or a watered down version of the web, The Web. And yet iPhone users come here asking chess.com for a mobile version. Maybe they should be writing a letter to Steve Jobs instead.

What it means by "not a mobile version of the web" means is that it doesn't require WAP compliant websites.  It still won't work on sites who's interfaces are very complex web applications, like this one.

 

Most of the other correspondence sites have a mobile version.  All you'd have to do is add the ability to enter moves by text box with notation, and take a little of the clutter out of the screen.
