I'm waiting for Chessmaster for my Sony PSP. I play computer chess a lot when I'm either on the road with the band, in the studio during down time, or during my daily practice time (Monday through Friday 10:00 am to 2:00 pm). I've got a handheld e-chess, but the thing is a real pain to use.
the only other options for chess on ds so far are a homebrew (chessds) and a glitchy version included in clubhouse games... i can barely wait for some quality chess on the ds
What a move. Even BoBo (rating 23), the chimp player from Chessmaster's computer opponent profile wouldn't have tried that one. Do the companies that design chess programs for cell phones even bother having someone involved who knows how to play a basic game of chess?
