Buy a PalmIIIx or a PalmV and download PocketChess. It should give you a good
game, is very easy to use (no problem to play on the screen), does not gobble
batteries like a WinCE computer, and you can do something else with it. You can
even play in the dark with the backlight screen. In fact it's a true general
purpose computer.
