Question Chess on the Kobo Aura One (KA1)?
Hello there. Wondering if anybody has managed to put chess on the KA1. Given the big screen and faster CPU it would be a pleasure to play with.

There is no chess in the firmware for the KA1.

Thank you. Wondering if installing Linux Debian on it would do the trick, as it did with previous Kobo devices.

You risk bricking your KA1. There is no SD card. So if it goes all wrong, you have a useless device. There is no opening it to swap the SD card. So Debian on your KA1 is a very bad idea.
