No, unfortunately I had a late night before the auction closed the next morning and woke up to find that it had ended. Someone from Australia with no previous transactions had bidded on it.

You have to update OS at your device up to 2003 version, otherwise almost any chess program would not work on it... Check special forums about or find an experienced user for help because this process might be not easy. Thanks, I definitely agree. I submitted a post to a subreddit called retrobattl...

The Dell Axim X5 is from 2002, I had a similar iPaq 3950 from same era and remember having Pocket Fritz 2 and Pocket GrandMaster installed on it. Pocket Fritz 1 will also work but I’m not sure about the later PF3 and PF4. If you do some digging on the Shredder Chess home page you should get to down...

The position after 5.Kb1 is rather cute a...
