To the Powers that Be...

I would like to express my desire to see chess.com go mobile.  A way to access your games from your phone rather than having to be at your computer. 

Are there others that would like to see this also?

Is anything in the works?

I think this has been talked about many times..

I do think something is in the process but I'm not sure.

My Blackberry would love it though.

Use Opera mini... The Opera browser is known to be the best browser in the world and it's only fitting that its mini version would be the best browser on mobile phones. And it is.

There was a little test run on this recently, but I didn't come across any feedback on the outcome.

Hopefully it will be here soon!

I would like to see it work for the Blackberry work also.

Best browser in the world? I'm not sure about that, it has issues with JavaScript, and is slower than either Chrome or FIrefox... how is that better?

Firefox has jscript problems also and there's more than javascript when testing a browser's speed. Opera is not slower than Firefox if we take into account the startup times, the back-forward loading time (where Opera outperforms any browser by several orders of magnitude) and so on. Jscript is the only field where firefox marginally outperforms Opera.

Opera has actually been using the same rendering engine (Presto) for ages and is in for an overhaul. It was first launched around 2003, so you can safely say it took other browsers five years to get close to its performance.

Right now Chrome might be a bit faster because it has just been launched (as opposed to five years ago) and has minimal features while being based on the webkit engine (hence less work from the google team) but that will soon change when Opera 10 is released. There are also a lot of features I could not live without -say, mouse gestures- that are not present in Chrome (there are some dubious plugins in development but they are 1) potentially unsafe and 2) slowing down the browser, so there goes the speed).

Opera has always had better security than any other browser (statement based on secunia.com stats), great browsing features and blazing speed. I seriously doubt firefox could easily handle the 50+ tabs I keep most of the time in Opera - granted, I did not try this in the third version of ff.

Suffice to say that Opera takes 255 MB of RAM when it las loaded the obscene number of 50+ tabs and is still damn fast, whereas firefox 3 is currently taking up 120 just with a single tab (youtube).

coming soon :)

When do you think soon will be?  Week? Month? Year?

week :D

Meaning "It is a roll of the dice" I believe.

"I told the Captain I would have this diagnostic done in an hour."
"And how long will it really take you?"
"An hour!"
"Oh, you didn't tell him how long it would really take, did you?"
"Of course I did."
"Oh, laddie, you have a lot to learn if you want people to think of you as a miracle worker."

Well, I  think I'm about 30, so that means I've two complete answers in me. Now, who's got a question?

That was your first question. Security is the answer. You've got one left :)

yep

This answer looks dodgy to me.

I look forward to trying the mobile version.  I am getting a new phone in a couple weeks.

I don't know, this site has awakened the maniacal chess freak within me (bearing in mind that I have been playing and building my chess library for years). To create the possibility of furthering my obsession to include both A)when I am at home and B) when I am not at home seems all encompassing. Might take more than a 12 move problem to bring me back. I mean 12 step program

The good news there being that this dodgy answer means you still have (at least) two questions left.

Finally got a blackberry.  Great mobile chess program, it is simple and easily accessible.  Great addition.
