I also have Palm Genius and a Travel Champion.  It would seem that Travel
Champion is Palm Genius' 'bogey' opponent as it doesn't do as well as one might
expect.  However other (Richard Fowell) have reported that Palm Genius holds its
own against the Sapphire, so maybe Palm Genius is stronger than 1900.  All the
tests that have been carried out on the base code of the Roma would indicate
that Palm Genius should be >2000 ELO.

I agree - since getting my hands on Palm Genius I haven't played as much chess
since my days as a junior county player - which were _many_ years ago!!
