The chess interface eboard (http://www.bergo.eng.br/eboard/index.php?p=0) is running on my iLiad. It's much cooler than xboard (http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13880).

I will post it here when I have played chess online via FISC protocol & have ported another engine Crafty.

fake-FAQ [never asked but could be asked]:
Q: Teasers are great, but downloadable binaries are better.
A: Yep. As a chess fan like me this would be a killer app for iLiad. Starting a teaser thread puts pressure on me not to forget this project.

I haven't success to compile crafty. It has a makefile, which is very processor specific. There is no "arm" option. "make linux generic" isn't working. I don't know whether there is a way.

Well, eboard does work with the older GNU Chess 5 port. :D
sjeng 1.x is a another engine. :cool: Let's try it.

Both eboard and crafty are working on the Nokia N800, see here (http://www.v7f.eu/public/n800/chess/).

I like your gnuchess already, but please :pray: give us the possibility to make this guy weaker!!! Gnuchess always kills me badly and now I am already afraid to even start the application :smack:

But I like it very much :D
