I enjoy a nice round of chess. When it’s inconvenient to have pieces out on an actual wooden board, why not just play on BlackBerry? Odesys Chess for BlackBerry is definitely one of the best chess experiences I have seen via mobile. One thing which drew me to this game was it has a online multiplayer function. Its nice to go online and lose to another human instead of getting beat by a computer. The graphics are simple yet because of this i think it looks good, no trying to make the queen look like something she is not!

Game Features:

Online gaming (FICS) client
Advanced AI engine
8 levels of difficulty
2-player mode
Highly intuitive user interface
Save game on exit
Deep Undo/Redo
Sound
Animated pieces motion.

You have to register online to play rated games, this is easy enough but you can also play as a guest. I also found their was always people online waiting to play you. The animated piece motion is also good as if you like me when you thinking too hard you don’t always remember the last move made. If you like chess this is a game for you. Odesys Chess is available for $4.99.
