on Sep 22, 2005 - I needed a hard reset on my PPC and tried to re-install Chesscapade without success. The developer refused any help and referred me to Handango who was unable to help and referred me back to the developer. No help anywhere.

Overall good app, with one exception

on Jun 8, 2004 - This app is a great time-waster, and it's fun watching the animations of the pieces killing each other. The only problem I have though is that reseting my device (Dell Axim X3i) deletes all my saved games. A bit frustrating. But then again considering my chess skills, this could be considered "saved by the bell"....
