a portable, commercial chess system by [[Josu Bergara Ede]] with the look and feel of the [[Dedicated Chess Computers|dedicated chess computers]] of the 80's, using [[Windows]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tablet_computer#Windows tablet], [[Raspberry Pi]], [[pcDuino]], or [[ODROID]] with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-crystal_display LCD] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keypad Keypad] unit <ref>[https://www.adafruit.com/products/1109 Adafruit RGB Positive 16x2 LCD+Keypad Kit for Raspberry Pi]</ref> or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin-film-transistor_liquid-crystal_display TFT displays], and a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital SD memory card] with pre-installed [[:Category:Open Source|open source chess engines]], shipped via [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBay eBay].

It is written in [[C]], like the chess engines compiled for the [[ARM11|ARM]] processor, running under [[Linux]], supporting both the [[UCI|Universal Chess Interface]] and the [[Chess Engine Communication Protocol]] aka [[XBoard]].
