This is almost the same device as a nexus 7. There are many free chess apps at the apps store for this device. For sure download Droidfish, the ICC chess app, and the apps from chessbase, the database program is not free.

Thanks Mark, I will. This little thing cost almost nothing, the equivalent to 200 bucks.
Just a little more than a good dinner in a good restaurant here.

You will love it, the nexus 7 which is the same as your device is my favorite tablet. I use it more then my computers or my iPads. For me it is the perfect size device, and I like android devices better the apple. It is what I am using to type this message. Enjoy...

As stated above the Droidfish app is GREAT and FREE!

I also really enjoy the Shredder app for Android. Costs 7 bucks but also comes with about 1,000 tactics problems as well.

Mobilia chess is pretty nice and also has a bunch of tactics as well as a fun engine to play against.

We are investigating. We wonder who this guy is and what he did to Fern! The account must have been hacked.
