I guess these opponents are just fine to determine the strength of Chess Tiger
for Palm and ChessGenius for Palm.

So in short all you need in order to start the test is a Palm?

I think what you need is a Palm that can be powered by its cradle (a Palm m500
for example). Because playing chess consumes power on a Palm, and the batteries
would not last long enough to complete one game with your long time controls!

Your tester also needs a PC in order to transfer the Chess Tiger and ChessGenius
on the Palm (well this can be done on someone else's PC) and to save the games
(this can be done from time to time, the Palm can store a lot of games).
