You can not see the whole board on the screen with a PDA you have to scroll the screen, not a good way to play its a little difficult.

Free Internet Chess Server (FICS) can be connected to without any special oftware. Connect to freechess.org port 5000. You can also play suicide chess in here as well as normal chess. I even played against someone in Alberta, Canada. But that server does not seem to accept backspace, and it will not repeat what you type in HyperTerminal (even if you enable echo). Use the other program to connect to it, then it will repeat what you type and Enter key will work properly as well.
Some comments: Theinternet chess club software does sometimesz not work through corporate firewalls. Hopefully someone will sort that one out soon. The software in general could do with an upgrade. Certainly not pretty, but functional. And the players on there are great (ie someone for everyone.) For hosting your own server we offer http://www.phpchess.net. This allows clubs, scholls and others to run their own chess server. Hosting can also be bought. The server itself links to pda, web-enabled mobile phones (with browser) and will get a client for pc in January 2006. Features include: Gameplay (realtime and tunr based, automatic notification, player management, administration (such as player acceptance, skinning, languages,....). The professional version does member billing, redemption codes and more. It's realy easy to install on most hosted servers or any corporate, or private server with mysql and php (all free). you can try it on http://www.phpchess.net/phpchess have fun!
Hello try this Free Online Chess Site Great site to play some good chess. I play on many sites but really like this one the best.
Email chess fans should try www.chessbymessage.com (Chess by Message).
It lets you graphically trace back through the game, and you can download games in PGN format.
Just one more way of playing chess via email.
I had trouble finding some simple way of playing via email with my dad, so I finally made my own web page : No registration. Simplistic user interface. Play via email.
