Have fun playing chess anywhere and everywhere...

Fritz Chess: Pocket PC Version is a chess partner with mobility built in. Assuming you have a pocket PC (sorry to state the obvious, but you shouldn't be buying this if you haven't) you can take it with you wherever you go without worrying that you'll loose those tiny pieces down the back of your car seat.

The younger brother of the world's strongest chess program has made great strides in the area of design, functionality and user friendliness. Well designed pieces and board colours, formatted, colour-coded notation, all contribute to optimum clarity, even in deeply annotated games. The moves of the computer as well as hints and threats are displayed with coloured arrows. There are a number of diverse playing levels that make it an entertaining opponent, while the database functions and new commentary options fulfil the needs of even strong professional players.

The program gives you mobile access to the ChessBase Online database with well over two million games. There you can search for the games of specific players, tournaments or openings. You also have online access to a giant state-of-the-art openings book with over seven million positions and full statistics for each of them. Other functions: extended, user-friendly move entry and annotation; automatic game replay with adjustable speeds; special energy-saving mode for longer battery life.

For the business man on the move, this is possibly the only essential game purchase I'd recommend for your pocket PC. It's certainly a game that will keep you thrilled for hours.
