Chess games for Windows CE?
By Grant - usenet poster
Hi.
I'd like to have a decent chess game for my Windows CE machine. It's an HP
620LX, so a colour version would be preferable.
I'm not a brilliant player, but I do enjoy the game. In other words,
tournement-standard chess is probably beyond me, but I don't want to be able
to knock the computer over in every game. A reasonable amount of depth is
required, preferably user-customisable.
Does anyone know of anything fitting the bill? A freeware version would be
nice of course, but I don't mind shelling out if necessary.
Thanks in advance for any information.
Cheers,
Ian

I'm working with someone on a commercial version of Stobor for Windows CE.
He has plans for releasing a product sometime next month for ~$30.
Perhaps you want to wait for that to happen.
As you can see from my homepage, (#) Stobor competes
comfortably with today's better programs.
Cheers,
Tom

Here is one more choice:
#
They mention that it "incorporates a powerful chess engine written by a
world-renowned chess programmer," but don't name names. It seems to
have lots of bells and whistles, including a 3D board and commented
master games.
I have not personally played any chess programs for Windows CE. This is
just the result of some web research. I would also like to know how
strong these two programs are (especially compared to my handheld
program of choice, Deep Green on a MessagePad 2000).
