OpenChess 3.00
(Edit)OpenChess is a Chess game, Opening Trainer and Chess data base for the PalmOS platform. It supports Palm devices with OS 3.0 and above (2 MB main memory required) and uses separate layouts for Grayscale, Color and HiRes (OS5 and Sony Clié OS4) devices.
OpenChess has a clear and easy-to-understand user interface. While playing you will see the board, coordinates, the last move in SAN notation and a couple of buttons to reach the most used functions with only one click. For example, you can turn the board, switch side, ask for move suggestion (hint) or display material differences at any time. OpenChess will support Drag and Move - you can make a move with just dragging a piece to the new square. A clock will display how much time the playing side has consumed so far. The same clock will be used to indicate the progress for computer moves. Additionally, you will be able to change background colors and piece sets. New piece sets can be either downloaded or you can even create your own one, provided you have bitmaps of your favorite pieces.
