## What is PacketChess?

PacketChess lets you play chess over packet radio with other amateur radio operators. Moves are transmitted as compact packets via AX.25. Fully supports software TNC, Bluetooth KISS TNC, and network KISS TNC interfaces.

PacketChess is intended to be used by licensed amateur radio operators. A valid amateur radio license, assigned callsign, and a compatible radio are required to send and receive messages. This app does not function as a standalone chess game. You have to find a partner to play with, there is no built AI.
