At this point, it's a bit rough, but try it out and let us know what you think!

Currently, supports making moves in online chess games (not Live).

Not at this time. It's not something we're actively working on right now, so I'm afraid there's no ETA on a more robust version.

Michael, have you guys looked at MobileBit's framework/api/gui Delta Engine?  It's pure Win/.NET (but I wasn't thrilled that Rhomobile is entirely Ruby either... :)

Sorry to see this. 

I am planning on purchasing a Nokia 900 when it becomes available in March, and I was looking forward to a chess.com app being released in the near future.  I understand the problem with devoting resources to a project that only a tiny percentage of your users care about, but it's still dissappointing.  

 

For what it's worth, I came to this site by way of the Palm webOS app (a mobile OS with a much smaller user base than WP.)  I subsequently purchased a membership (which I am considering upgrading) and recommended this site to at least 15 people as a great place to play.

 Agree with  arkyarky9. Im not always near the PC, but im almost always with my smartphone. By the way WP7 seems like a very nice platform. With "cheaper" tango devices im sure it will take its market share.

While there is currently no chess.com app, there is a 3rd party client app for Windows Phone 7 that is currently in beta test.

You can get more details here:
