Go head to head with the computer or match wits with a friend. Or just sit back and watch the computer play itself. Having trouble? No problem. Tap a button and instantly switch sides with your opponent! If you need a little help, you can ask PalmChess to give you a hint, or simply tell it to make a move for you. And if you're feeling really devious, go into Setup mode and add a few more pieces to your side!

PalmChess also supports portable game notation (PGN). PGN is a standard file format for writing chess games, which means you can save games in PalmChess and then open them in your favorite desktop chess program.

PalmChess can also read PGN files. There are literally thousands of games available on the Internet that you can download and view in PalmChess!
