I recieved my PocketChess as a gift. I'm just learning to play so the hints and ability to undo moves are really helpful... The graphics and color schemes are awesome. I have created a few of my own. I haven't checked out the game databases yet, but I did download the desktop companion so I could review my own games on the larger screen. This is such a great choice for anyone interested in learning the game.

This is a great new module.  I already have the Pocket Express Entertainment Pack with Tetris and Lode Runner. Chess in the Entertainment Pack has only 8 levels with this version of PocketChess, you can set the difficulty level so it's great for beginners and experts. You can try out move variations, and undo moves all the way back to the beginning. The color and the graphics are great as well. You can select from different board styles and pieces. If you love chess or have wanted to learn you should get this module.

The module program does not crash like other downloaded programs. The biggest plus is the feebie desktop companion that allows storage and entry of pgn files. While this may not be the strongest program available, it has more features. I love being able to load game repertoires, endgame puzzles, and famous games.

Overall this is a great chess program and definitely worth checking out. The engine is really smart and you can set the difficulty level of the game and hints, play around with color schemes and board styles, and review a whole game database of the Grand Masters. I really like that I can import and export games from PC based games. Its been helpful for improving strategy, you can try out move variations, set-up the board to work on specific problems, and add comments and annotation for each move. It also has a really cool Blindfold chess.
