Hi, PocketGrandmaster 1.2, a fully featured and strong chess program for Pocket PC is now available at http://www.pocketgrandmaster.com Installationfiles are available for PocketPCs with StrongARM, MIPS and SH3 processors (e.g. iPAQ, Jornada, Cassiopeia) and PocketPC 2002/Windows CE 3.0. Improvements over PocketGrandmaster 1.1: - multi engine capability - two new chess sets - automatic replay game-function - main line now displayed in standard algebraic notation (SAN) - more levels and options - more intelligent pondering algorithm The chessengine is based on the WMCC-version of GromitChess (3.9.5) which won the amateur-title at the WMCC 2001 in Maastricht. SOS (amateur world champion 2000) is available as an additional engine. The userinterface of PocketGrandmaster offers all important features (pondering, various levels, reading/writing/searching in .pgn databases, set up position,...), two board-layouts and a helpfile which describes all dialogs. It is very easy to use and moves can be entered drag&drop or by just "one tap" if only one legal move to or from the tapped square is possible. The openingbook has 200,000 moves. PocketGrandmaster is shareware and some features are limited in the unregistered version. Frank, Kai
