Nokia (News - Alert) and G-mode, a casual game developer, have teamed to offer more mobile multiplayer games to the global market.

 

G-mode is in fact developing Chess a Moment, an online and turn-based chess game, based on the Nokia SNAP Mobile platform.

 

In Chess a Moment, players can compete in up to eight live games simultaneously, and have up to 30 hours to ponder their next move. Players can also review the move histories of their opponents at any time during a game.

 

"Our cooperation with SNAP Mobile started when we entered and won the SingTel (News - Alert) Game Quest competition in 2006. From concept to deployment, SNAP Mobile has provided the right foundation to take our concept and turn it into a reality," said Takeshi Miyaji President of G-mode in a statement to the press.

 

Each game is played against a live opponent  and Chess a Moment is not just for the pros, beginners can also join in the fun as a no-clock feature allows players to learn chess at their own pace. 

 

"Chess a Moment is a winning example of how to build an innovative and fun mobile multiplayer game that transcends many of today's network limitations,” said Antoine Doumenc, Head of SNAP Mobile. “G-mode effectively brings more entertainment to mobile chess by allowing players to interact online with friends versus playing alone against a computer."
