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
