The concept

Miniature is a chess board that goes always with you, ready to let you play and learn wherever you go.

  • The main use case is playing online against other players at http://freechess.org (FICS)
  • Now imagine that you can also chat with the other player.
  • Learning is important: watch games live, review stored games and also process offline the lessons offered at FICS.
  • Play P2P games against other players next to you or in your Contacts.
  • And not only regular chess. See also Antichess, Chess960...

Miniature is based on Qt, targets Maemo as primary platform and plans to have ports for Symbian, Windows Mobile and desktop OSs (Linux, Windows, Mac).
