Do I detect sarcasm in your typography?

Then again, I play Sudoku very algorithmically (i.e. like a computer) so it's unlikely that the computer and I would disagree.

Me? Sarcasm? Never

I do to, but I haven't played it for a while and seem to be making a lot of mistakes. I probably should reread the suggested methods.

I'll admit that it seems that Kobo's Sudoku is making periodic mistakes to me as well, but it is very hard to prove. As much as I play "like a computer", I cannot deny that I am human. I cannot deny that I am failable. It doesn't take much to make a mistake after all. A misobservation, seeing something that isn't there or missing something that is there, is all too easy after all.

At the end of the day, the number of solutions that I've come up with that Kobo didn't agree with (and that seemed to be right nevertheless) are countable on the digits of one hand. So, for Sudoku, I'm happy. Chess is a different issue though. It has faltered when it shouldn't. That does disappoint me, since I would like to get into games deeper than Sudoku, Solitaire, and Boggle. (As added fun, they don't call the game boggle but the library does refer to Boggle.)

A lot of us have that issue and stranger still its not localized to the Kobo its even a problem in the paper.

I didn't even realize that Kobo had added chess. When did that happen?

It works ok for me in a short game.

I think Chess has been on the Glo since it first came out, or since firmware 2.1.5 at least.

I have played about 10 chess games with firmware 2.6.1, won 3 lost the rest. Have yet to come across any problem.

Please tell me how you managed it.

I'm not really a chess player, I just played to test the firmware, so perhaps I am not playing the way a serious player would. I only won games at beginner level, so if the problem occurs when the human player wins then that might be a factor.

I got the white screen with the 2.6.1 firmware
