I agree with geneven: portrait mode is much more appropriate for a chess app, both for better usage of the screen and more suitable for casual play.

eboard an crafty also are working out of the box on the N900. Fullscreen mode doesen't work and it's hard to use the menus without a stylus. If you want to store stetting, played/watched games, ... you have to create the folders:

/home/user/MyDocs/.games/EBoard

I am using eboard nearly every (working) day while commuting.

You can use the diablo build to install it. The .deb could be found there:

Beside of this I'll have a look how I (also no developer) can help to bring this chess on N900 project forward.

Thanks for this thread! :-)
