I cannot try it myself right now, since I do not have my Kobo with me. In an earlier version of KSM, one could call Coolreader directly from the main menu. It worked, or so I thought. It turned out that opening the light adjustment menu or changing the srcreen refresh interval causes the device to freeze (The discussion is somewhere around posts 257, 274 and the follow up posts).

If you like to experiment, here is how you could start. Create startpbchess.sh

#!/bin/sh
export ROOT=/mnt/onboard/.kobo/vlasovsoft
cd $ROOT
. ./setvars.sh
export QWS_DISPLAY=Transformed:KoboFB:Rot90

# make the temporary directory for Qt
mkdir -p $TMPDIR

# make fifo
mkfifo $VLASOVSOFT_FIFO

$ROOT/pbchess/pbchess -qws

rm $VLASOVSOFT_FIFO

Place the script file for instance into .kobo/kbmenu/scripts/, and start it by selecting (KSM main menu) > scripts > startpbchess.sh.
If it works, we can include it into the main menu.
