The popularity of the Apple iPhone seemingly knows no bounds, and every day new applications are created to appease iPhone users.

One of the most successful iPhone applications to date is the iPhone chess game that operates through the world famous GNU chess engine.

If you have ever used Xboard or WinBoard you will easily adapt to the graphical user interface of the iPhone chess game.

The way the game functions is that you can manoeuvre chess pieces simply by tapping your fingers on the phone screen. This makes the game both enjoyable and easy to get used to!

Just as in real chess, the iPhone chess game allows you to proceed with piece promotion, castling and en-passant piece capture.

An added function is the ability to save and load chess games, and you can even email a copy of your current game to your computer or to your friends.

So if you have been looking for a chance to brush up on your chess skills while on public transport or in your free time, give the iPhone chess application a go.
