Not a full blown review, just to note that Big W are selling the version for Nintendo DS for $24. I bought a copy on Friday and have a had a couple of goes with it. I haven't used it enough to see how strong it is as a chess playing program but I did like the new "Mini-Games" feature. Basically it is a series of games that use chess pieces, without actually being chess itself. Some games involve using pieces as mine sweepers, while others require you to line up 3 or more pieces in the lines they move along. Quite cute and quite addictive. And the more you solve the more Josh Waitzkin rates your mental abilities.
Whether it matches pocket Fritz etc I still don't know, but for a fun DS game for $24 it is certainly worth buying.
