On August 29th, the  Ex-World Chess Champion and chess legend Gari Kaspárov played and exhibition simul game with the Semp-Toshiba myPad tablet using our app Mobialia Chess.

This game was played at the Brazilian Federal District against 13 opponents with some politicians among them.

The event was a presentation of the new Semp-Toshiba myPad Android tablet featuring a 10″ screen and a Nvidia Tegra 250 dual-core 1Ghz CPU. This is the fist tablet device made in Brazil!

We are very proud that Semp-Toshiba choosed our chess app, and to celebrate it we released a new Mobialia Chess version with portuguese translation. Android tablets are great devices to play chess and we expect a big increment of tablet devices running our chess app.

• Jornal do Brasil

At the moment our Chess app does not include the opening names, but if you want to learn openings, you can use a PGN file with one game for each opening and browse it with the embedded PGN viewer.

• PGN File with openings

Download this file, open it with Mobialia Chess and then play it. When you are at the end of the file you can continue playing in the offline mode with MENU->Play Position.

We published today a complete version of Mobialia Chess called “Mobialia Chess (Ads)” available to download for free at the Android Market. This is possible because this app now shows ads on the board screen. The paid app continues to be available for those who wants to get rid of the ads.
