Hi, PocketGrandmaster 2.0, a fully featured and strong shareware-chess program for Pocket PC is now available at http://www.pocketgrandmaster.com Installationfiles are available for PocketPCs with StrongARM/XScale, MIPS and SH3 processors (e.g. iPAQ, Jornada, Toshiba, Cassiopeia) and PocketPC 2002/Windows CE 3.0. Most important improvements: - more piece sets and squares - new engine Ruffian by Perola Valfridsson (in addition to Gromit and SOS) - support for the electronic chessboard by DGT (http://www.dgtprojects.com) - spoken announcements of moves in Dutch, English, French, German and Spanish (with kind permission from DGT-Projects!) - training-mode for testsuites - new "comment move"-dialog - a context-menu opens when you tap-and-hold below the board - PocketGrandmaster 2.0 is also available in a German version. Other features: - load "next game" and "previous game" - "back to start" and "forward to end" of game - send and receive games as mail - slightly improved chess engine - "highlight legal moves" shows all legal moves of a piece - "next move" asks if there is more than one variation - "coach" warns when you make a really bad move - many improved details and minor bugfixes Perola Valfridsson has provided a Pocket PC version of his strong chess engine Ruffian in record time. Although Ruffian looses a bit more speed on the Pocket PC than other engines, it is one of the strongest chess programs currently available for Pocket PCs. More information about the PC-version of Ruffian can be found here: http://ruffian.hkust.se/ For more information about PocketGrandmaster, please visit http://www.pocketgrandmaster.com Have fun testing it, Frank Schneider, Kai Skibbe
