Kindle Touch chess
I wrote a chess game for kindle touch (Kchess) that is based on http://p4wn.sourceforge.net's sven (6k) engine. Install like any launcher extension.

Nice
This is pretty awesome, I always wanted to play chess on KT. There are some challenges though
-The computer is quite silly and gives pieces away even on hard -Movement is a big buggy, sometimes the pieces will make illegal moves and the game will sorta crash Isn't there a better chess engine that can be transported to the KT? |

Kind of off-topic, but...
For those that wanted to play Chess on KT, even if not free (1 dollar):
http://www.amazon.com/Chess/dp/B004KACWZW works well. I bought initially for K3, but later saw it avaiable for Touch too. |

Remember, I don't write the game, I just use an online js game and kindleify it. I am still refining my search strings please wait!

Hopefully it will be something with clean (non-obfuscated) code.

Also I cannot install it from my computer, at best I can extract the files on my kindle memory but I do not see these on the kindle. Could anyone please tell me how to see/run this app once I have copied it to kindle? Thanks a lot! |
