Subject: Chess Tiger 14.9 for Palm available - just great!

I have just downloaded ChessTiger 14.9 for Palm ... and I am very impressed
about the many improvements that Christophe Theron has implemented in his latest
version (below text of the readme file):

WHAT'S NEW:
-----------

VERSION 14.9 (March 11, 2002)

* TURBO MODE: the program plays better and faster because it is now
  able to think about its next move while it is your turn!

* VIEW SELECTION: now you can select directly the view (big or small
  chessboard) instead of having to cycle through all of them.

* IMPROVED GRAPHICS: all the pieces look better, especially in the
  small chessboards views. Also the "set up position" screen shows
  bigger pieces.

* IMPROVED CHESS ENGINE: Chess Tiger is now even stronger in the
  endgame!

* DETECTS DRAWS BY INSUFFICIENT MATERIAL.

* BOOK MOVES SCREEN: shows known opening moves for the current
  position.

* ENGINE STATISTICS SCREEN: when the program has finished thinking you
  can tap on the status line at the bottom of the screen to get a
  detailed report.

And indeed, as I have used CT_14.7 for Palm so far mainly in blitz games where I
had even chancen to win/draw, things have now become very much more difficult
due the the fact that the program now has the ponder=on function [TUBO MODE].

My sincere congratulations to Christophe for his great program!!

Kind regards
Kurt
