"Now you can play Chess with your fellow Smartphone and PPC users over Bluetooth! This program should work (theoretically) on any WM devices, Smartphone or PPC, with OS 2003/2003SE/WM5, as long as the device has MS Bluetooth Stack. Tested on Voyager, XPhone2, C500, C550, Tornado, SP5, XDAIIs (thanks to those who have spent time in testing this one.) It also works in landscape mode on PPCs."



This is a great idea. I can confirm this also works on the 2125 and the 8125 Pocket PC. I just played a game between the two devices. Of course the 2125 won. You just can't beat the hump!

AHA! The hump is a brain, not an antenna :rotfl:

I always wondered what that was, I kept thinking of that dimbulb Quasimodo - I was obviously thinking in the wrong direction. More like Pinky and the Brain.

I've used PocketFritz a number of times. Does this allow Human vs computer" as well? For those of us with no friends on the train.

No it doesn't. There are some good Chess programs out there for that but they aren't free.

Now this is cool. We need more games and programs that take advantage of Bluetooth and other devices in the surronding area. 8)
