Chess.com goes mobile?
Sort:
That wouldn;t work out too well in my opinion.
Why not?
With my Nokia 6680 and Opera mini v 4.0 I can browse the whole website, just like on my PC. Only problem is that I can't seem to 'drag and drop.'
If chess.com could add an addition text input for moves, it would work perfectly.

ChessBass.com have a mobile version on there site. Technically it works well but sometimes you can wait for an hour and not get a game. I think with the longer time limits on Chess.Com a mobile version would work be great.
Eric add your comments!!

Stay tuned kids. Erik just brought this up to me a few weeks ago. Its on the radar.
I think the nifty text input would work out, of course it go do without the blogs and photos and stuff, but jus a simple network that alows us to play chess while at waiting in line, bored in class, or at work 
! the network (which can be done) could allow u to even play ppl that r on their pc's...

yeah.... this is a tough issue. we could only do it for stuff like the iphone and more advanced browsers. it's on my radar screen, but it is REALLY not that easy....
AM3692: psp...not a bad idea, im not to sure about the psp n how it works can u do internet capabilities on the psp?
ERIK: thats true about having the more advanced browsers, but if you look at it it really wouldnt be a to tough of a deal, because most new phones support GPS, though the older modeled phones cannot due to our increasing and advancing technology most new phones would have the capability to make such a dream, become a reality...

What about putting only that text input to the games section?

well my idea is to only have the game section, without the blogs and the other great features to this site...jus a way to network on the go with a game of chess....i dont know but maybe the ipones and other high tech phones may be able to load the chess.com website on its internet browser, but my phone "Moto Q smartphone" loads the site but isnt able to login to my username

Try downloading Opera Mini, it's perhaps your phone's browser that struggles with chess.com?
how can i find this opera mini?

Isn't there a "click and click" move entry for making moves here at chess.com. Just click the origin square and destination square, voila. No dragging and dropping necessary. This is how I always do it when I use the trackpad on my laptop.

yep. you can either drag-drop OR click-click. maybe we should add a zip-zoom or a ding-dong or a blip-ping too...
Wouldn't it be great to get chess.com on your cell phone? A mobile chess that lets you solve chess puzzles, play a computer or others on their mobile as well? Sure there would be some bugs and nicks that may needed to be worked out to make it a mobile friendly, but I believe it can be done....does any1 know how maybe to get this about, or how to get something like this started and up and running?
Maybe you guys got some information similar to what im imagining and already have this dream on your mobile? Hope to hear from you guys?
