I'm getting ready to endure a lot of hours of holiday travel and several days without computer access. I want to download a chess game to my cell phone but there's really 1 major concern: I want to be able to play other people and chat during the game (playing a computer is simply not interesting).
I've already downloaded something called Ultimate Chess 3d and it's a ripoff (searches for an opponent for 30 seconds then defaults to a computer opponent...wtf?!?)
My phone is through verizon. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
schemingmind.com has a download. subscription is 20.00. unlimited games. high end players. quiet forum but chat box at each game.
Play Correspondence Chess from your PDA or mobile phone
SchemingMind Mobile is a version of the site specifically designed to allow you to take your correspondence chess games with you when you're away from home.
Many popular models of PDAs and mobile phones are supported. Unlike the main site, the mobile site has been kept deliberately simple; you can't start games, join tournaments, or move the pieces around with a mouse (you probably don't even have a mouse on your phone!). This is to make sure that it works on as many different devices as possible.
---------------------------------(sm note)------------------
Not all chess variants are possible from mobile devices, but Standard Chess and Chess960 are supported, along with some of the more popular chess variants.
To use SchemingMind Mobile, enter the address mobile.schemingmind.com on your device and use your usual username and password.
