superdupergames would probably be a little painful to play on the iPhone, since the interface takes up quite a lot of screen real estate and you have to submit your moves by typing into forms, which is a bit of a pain on the iPhone. Also, each move of a cap would require a reload of the whole page, which can be very slow over the EDGE network. What you really want is an AJAX app where you just click on the piece you want to move and where you want to move it, and it updates your display without having to reload the whole page.
