HIARCS Chess Forums

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll go for the chessbase app and chess genius.

It's all a little too late, as I'm getting a cheap Archos/Arnova G2 7 to supplement my Ipad 2, I can't really complain, can I??

Hi All,

I notice there has been a couple of Android discussion on the forum.

As an Xmas gift I'm getting an Andriod Tablet running gingerbread OS.

Can someone tell me what the best chess program is for playing over games and pgn files with nested variations?

All the best,

NK

With the demise of Windows 6.5, does anyone know what the plan is for the next version of Pocket Fritz? It's a great program, but as I'm due to change my mobile phone I can't get another WinMo 6.5 phone. I don't want to lose the facilities PF4 offers, in particular, DVD access and native use of Ches...

At the risk of starting up a critical thread.... Pocket Fritz is wonderful. What Tsukrov has done is way beyond the call of duty for a chessplaying program for a phone. Don't forget guys, it's a mobile phone you are running a powerful version of Fritz on. With chessbase cbh and DVD compatability it'...

Thanks for the info about HD2 compatability, Tsukrov...

I've ordered the phone now, and look forward to having a genuine 'mini-chessbase'/Fritz program on there.

Thanks. It's an awesome program.

So...

a couple of questions about the HD2...

Is Pocket Fritz 4 optomised for the screen of the device?

If not, how common is this sort of problem using other software?

Cheers,

Munroe

I'd like to add my personal thanks to all the hard work which as gone on for Pocket Fritz 3. PF2 was, in many ways, a disappointment in terms of support. PF3, however, is the best piece of mobile software I've ever seen. Any ideas I had of buying an I-phone have now gone out of the window. Thanks, S...

Stas.... posting the update just before Christmas day... ;-) It sneaked under my radar while I was *trying* to play Wii Chess (bought by my other half!). Thanks for the update, which I am downloading now. P.s. Should there not be more publicity for PF3 on the official chessbase web site? I have not ...

The one thing I would like for a program which runs ICC/FICS is a program which allows you to easily chat on the channels.

This is, to me, an important part of playing online chess. It would be a shame to go onto the ICC and not be able to easily chat to friends who see that you are online.

I can't wait!

Many Thanks...

While Tsukrov is around I'd like to point out a small 'bug' in PF 3.1, and that is when watching Chess Media on the phone, the default condition for the phone switches the backlighting off at regular intervals (whatever the phone is set to) due to the fact that no key has been pressed on the phone. ...

Thanks for the speedy reply and links.

I've been busy converting away, it seems to work well.

Many thanks for a fine product, which is (I would stress to anyone reading this) worth every penny and is light years ahead of the rest of the pocket chess world.

I'd like to say... seriously well done for PF3. Its truly IMHO a 'killer app' for chess players. It really is that good. I would like to ask a couple of questions, however: 1.Could you give us 'back' the standard piece set from Pocket Fritz 2? I really liked it, and feel it's better than the choices...
