pspChess is a chess game created based on Boo's Chess Engine.
User guide
The default setup is WHITE: human player, BLACK: PSP.
You can get more images for pieces here.
pspChess can play any mikmod compatible file or mp3 as background music.
Rating
The original PC version of BCE (on which pspChess is based) played as "ddlchess" and "BACE" on freechess.org, but they have not been active in years. BCE achieved its highest blitz rating at 2054 and its highest standard rating at 1975.
It was probably searching around 4-6 plies. It also probably lost a few games due to bugs that have been fixed in pspChess.
