I’m concentrating on Cocoa development exclusively. I’m sure there will be a good alternative for the Android at some point. Bruno, Deep Green will not be ported to Android, unfortunately.

It would be great if you could update it with high res graphics. I saw you just updated it for iOS 4 but the graphics are still blocky. Thanks again for a great UI. Love the game, thanks!

Therefore, i need a faster and much smarter chess engine.

Which iPhone OS version are you running? After having upgraded to version 3.0, I’ve noticed that my iPhone 3G gets very hot too. Also when not running Deep Green at all. Evidently hotter than under version 2.2. And I’ve noticed that some of the animations don’t run as smoothly under version 3.0. I talked to an iPhone engineer during WWDC who told me they still had some optimizations to do. I haven’t checked if they’ve done so in the just released developer seed of iPhone OS 3.1. I submitted an update, Deep Green version 1.1.2, to Apple two weeks ago that tries to work around some of these issues when running on iPhone OS 3.0. It should be available soon, I hope. Having said this, Deep Green is a CPU intensive app when the engine runs. But I never noticed any issues like this under iPhone OS 2.x. Finally, which device are you using? The new iPhone 3GS has been said to run very hot. Carlos,

The phone also tends to run hotter when you use this product at is full capacity including continues checks on best move, taking back moves, etc. The sound, use of vibration, dancing of the pieces, etc. all together would appear to requite extra power. Also, after a while, the application gets very, very slow, less responsive to the tactile commands.

Nice new update. What I always like about this app is the lovely, worn design of the board itself. This new update brings some nice new touches yet still keeps things simple and intuitive.

I just wanted to say that the new site and Deep Green 1.1 are AWESOME! It's been a little wait, but it was definitely worth it. Keep up the great work! Hey Joachim!
