I met with the project leader - Island Kon just yesterday in Hong Kong.
I am registering here just to say thanks to him.
He is one of the nicest people I have ever met. He is also very knowledgeable and patient in explaining to me.
He also showed me a ready-to-play demo program where I can actually play chess against a cpu opponent.
I am invested in this project and hope all would go well and it definitely will I believe, because the project is led by all the great people.
