Hi there,
My wife and I just got iPaq 2215's and would like to find a chess game that
allows us to play head to head over the built-in bluetooth. That way we
could play across the room or if we get seated in separate rows on an
airplane, etc.

Any good info will be appreciated.

TIA
Parley

PocketGrandmaster is good and not too expensive, $20 I think.
ChessGenius is also good, about $25.
Both of these can be downloaded and purchased over the net.
Pocket Fritz2 from ChessBase is very strong but is about $45. You buy the
CD, install it on your PC, then sync with the handheld. I like ChessCafe for
a vendor, good prices good service, and a very informative site to boot.
I suspect that all would allow head to head play, but I really don't know.
Contact the manufacturer to be sure.

I really don't need something with a strong engine. As long as it knows
which moves are legal or not. I'll be using it mostly for playing against
other people and only the occasional Human vs. PPC game.
