CheckMates
Two phones. One board.
Put two phones edge to edge and they become one chessboard, with squares the same real size on both. Tap a piece, then tap where it goes, on either phone.

Three steps, about ten seconds.
No board to carry and nothing to set up. Everyone already has half a chessboard in their pocket.

Both tap Play
Open CheckMates on both phones and tap Play. The phones find each other nearby, and one tap connects them.

ii.
Put them edge to edge
Lay the phones flat, long edges touching. The board joins up across both screens, with squares the same size on each, even on different phones.

iii.
Play chess
Tap a piece, then tap where it goes, on either phone. Pieces cross the gap as if the board were one.
