Your Windows Mobile device (phone, pda) is a chess machine

Postby Kerwin » 26 Jan 2009, 04:19

Mobile/PocketPC ThinkerBoard 0.2.0027 is out.

The engine has been updated with changes from the desktop 5.4A engine, and a number of UI fixes were done (the significant one being the fix to the seek/sought window when connected to FICS).

I was not able to port all of the changes from the 5.4A desktop engine, because some were too expensive for the ARM processor, and ends-up hurting the performance.

Enjoy everyone!

Yes. it "should". I have not tested it myself. But other users have reported their use of ThinkerBoard on Windows Mobile 6.

I only have a Windows Mobile 5 Touch Phone, four Windows Mobile 2003 PDAs, and a Pocket PC 2002 PDA. ThinkerBoard seems to work fine on all those.

If you have a VGA device, the display may look blocky. For that, you just need to download the higher-res bitmaps by Eric De Mund (http://geocities.com/thechessthinker/userfiles.html), and simply replace the ones that come with ThinkerBoard.
