I'm interested in testing it.
I've a Kobo Touch updated to 2.1.5 and also a friend with Kobo Glo also updated to 2.1.5. Let me know how to try and test your application. |

Hello,
I own a Kobo Glo, and I am interested to help you with pbchess. There is already a chess programm on the glo, but it is rather limited. I think that pbchess will be a great alternative. Friendly |

kalimero, ilpestifero Important question: Are you familiar (at least a bit) with linux shell? Can you connect to your Kobo through telnet or SSH? It would be great! Today I can compile sokoban and we can try to run it. |

Hi,
I have no problem with linux shell, as I am a programmer under Linux. As for accessing Kobo with telnet, I found this : https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kobo_Touch_Hacking It seems well documented. I can't test this now, I have to come back to home first ) Last edited by kalimero; 11-16-2012 at 08:09 AM. |

Yes, I have chess program on Kobo extras... And what?
pbchess is not "another program to play chess". It's a powerful chess training program. You can improve your tactics, openings, endgame (we have a lot of training bases for different levels - see first post). You can browse annotated games of grandmasters, you can do many other things! It's for real chess fans |

Sorry for necro post but i think that's the correct thread for that.
I post here the translation because i don't like to angry you with more PM That's the final translation for pbchess because i finally understand how work all your options for program. Thanks for your explanations. Like I said you before (in PM) some translations aren't literaly for better interpretation. pbchess-spanish PS: If you want translations for all the other games/app of launcher let me know |

pbchess seems not work in new Kobo Glo HD. I can see the Launcher, but when start the program, it will not response to any screen touch and stay at language selection page.
