Chess in Pula

NDSChess is a chess game for the Nintendo DS. It builds upon a very strong open source chess engine called Fruit 2.1 by Fabien Letouzey. The engine was changed to meet the requirements of the DS. The interface is quite simple but functional. Here are some features:

    * Touchscreen support
    * Changeable opening book
    * Undo moves
    * Different time options or fixed calculation depth
    * Force the computer to make a move
    * Move suggestion

There are many things, that need to improve. Besides (I hope not so many) bugs, there are some known problems:

    * Pawn promotion (it will automatically promote to a queen)

To run the game on a NDS, you need either FlashME, WifiME or a PassME and some sort of GBA flashcard or the GBA Movie Player with chism firmware update. You can test DSChess on windows with Dualis.

You can get it in our NDS Download section [here].
