Chess?

[Dingo_aus]

What is the best way to play chess on the GP2X?

 

[TelcoLou]

Battle chess, available on different platforms.

That's all that comes to mind ... I'm sure there's others.

You can get chess for both Megadrive and Snes ... need I say more

I'm working on something right now. I've already got GNU Chess v5 ported as a text-based chess engine, and I'm writing an SDL graphics frontend for it. This is similar to the way Xboard and Winboard work. The nice thing about this is you can replace the chess engine easily. If someone ports Crafty, for example, they can just drop it in as a replacement.

The frontend is nowhere near ready yet.

Yeah TelcoLou's right, battlechess on outcaST is great for me!

You could always run the sinclair chess on the spectrum emulator

I remember playing "Grand Master" on the C64... if you're more interested in difficulty than graphics then it might we worth a try under vice. I don't seem to remember battlechess being all that hard.

Can someone please do gnuchess for gp2x? Please, thanks.

A port of GP32's Mythic Chess would be brilliant!

Sega Chess on the SMS platform.
Another good thinking game is Shanghai 2 on the Megadrive.

Fantastic, that´s what i´ve been waiting for for so long :wub:
Battle chess and all the others have too weak engines. Crafty would be nice, but there are some more open source engines out there as well.
Please keep us informed!

Checkmate on the GameBoy Color is good.

Checkmate on the GameBoy Color is good.

this is too weak as well. setting the strength to a playable value results in extreme calculation time...
