Hmm, there are so many chess programs in the AppSTore that we should really create a specific website to review them! :shock:

Here come programs that play chess 960:
- Chess-Wise (it's a universal app that will use the iPad's big screen too)
- Newbie Chess (I have it on iPad, don't know if it exists for iPhone, you tell me)

And some that play other variants:
- ChessPro: Regular, Suicide and Losers
- Chess + More: this one has 10 variants: normal (modern), Maharajah and the Sepoys, Pawns Game, Peasant's revolt, Weak!, Siege, Marxist, Republican, Dunsany's chess, Upside-down chess.
- The Chess: allows handicap

Note to Tord: Here are Glaurung/Stockfish clones (some costing money):
- ChessChamp
- MasterChess
- Xadrez 3000

There, hope that helped. :)
