You love chess. You love Maemo and its devices. You believe they fit so well... yet you haven't found a convincing implementation of a chess game for Maemo. '''Miniature''' to the rescue!

'''We are moving to http://miniature-chess.org/'''

== The concept ==
 +
 
 +
More or less:
 +
 
 +
* The main use case is playing online against other players at freechess.org
 +
* Now imagine that you can also chat with the other player.
 +
* Playing against the computer is a given (chat is optional)
 +
* Learning is important and it would be great to watch games, review stored games and also process offline the lessons given at certain times in freechess.org
 +
* A variant would be to play against othe player with a compatible device via local network or bluetooth.
 +
* I guess if we got at this point then implement variants such as suicide chess, random house, etc is peanuts.

Basing this on Qt 4.6 would be useful to assure the Fremantle - Harmattan path, be fully compliant with whatever the Ovi store brings and have ports for Symbian, Windows Mobile and desktop OSs (Linux, Windows, Mac).
