Hello geneven,

i am the author of StandByMee - Chess which displays a randomly chosen chess position given by a FEN (Forsyth-Edwards-Notation) on the standby screen of the N9 using an included chess database consisting of more than 120.000 mate in #2 positions. Maybe this is of interest for you.

Though i am doing my first steps with development i can imagine to write a simple GUI for loading and displaying chess positions in future for analysis purposes. But before that i have to realize at least two other projects

The program is called Josemobile, or perhaps Jose mobile would work better on the Nokia Store where I found it a short while ago. It might have been discovered earlier by me if it had the word "chess" somewhere in its name!

It may have some flaws that I haven't yet discovered, but it at least satisfies the minimum request that I have been making over and over for years, and I chose this thread to commemorate this fantastic result because it boasts about a "killer" chess program to be developed, but of course "killer" did not include the ability to play moves from books and examine variations..
