Although I believe the case has now been made for playing or watching chess games on a tablet with the previous two videos, possibly more importantly, it will have shown how and why tablets are not mutilated laptops or netbooks, they are a quite different device altogether. It is true the first iterations were sluggish for the most part, with slow processors, and low resolution displays, but today one can find a quad-core device with a high resolution for a very fair price. They are pleasant to use, very light, and very smooth and quick to use.

I should add that when I go to a tournament, especially a rapid event, I may not be able to do much real preparation against an opponent, but I do enjoy reviewing my games between rounds. This is where the tablet is invaluable, as I do not have the weight or size of even a netbook, and can just open up this lightweight device, enter my moves, and consult the tools shown above, and save it for later.
For those curious, the tablet in the video is an LG G Pad 8.3 inches, which I find to be the perfect size for chess and reading.
In the next part, I will explore how to use these tools for study and opening preparation.
