Very nice work, zx-81. Chess is one of the best board games in history, and the PSP has lacked one. Thanks!

Nice start. Some points:

1) It needs an opening book obviously. It doesn't by any chance read one if it exists in the game directory, does it?

2) Bug: if you choose the option to put black on the bottom of the screen, the king and queen and the letter labels are backwards!

3) A way to adjust the difficulty/time-per-move.

4) Undo.

Lots of other things, as I'm sure you know, but those would be the top for me. Keep up the great work.!

Hi,

Thanks for your comment. I plan to add those features soon (and fix the bug of backward labels),

Thanks, Zx

Hi, is there any way I can install this on my current version PSP. So, it is not downgraded.
Any help or answer will be appreciated...

Hi,

You need to install a custom firmware to enjoy homebrew stuff ...

You will need a pandora battery (you can buy one on ebay or on datel site),

Hi,

If you have a 4.01-m33 firmware, then install the fw-3x version in psp/game4xx folder,
