Boy, have you come to the right place!  I've been testing PalmChess (the best
available, www.synctel.com) on my new 206MHz iPAQ against ChessGenius on my
20MHz PalmIIIe.  Amazingly, ChessGenius has a slight edge at equal time
controls! (My test games are available upon request.) ChessGenius is a much
better positional player, written in optimized assembly for speed.  Palmchess
has an engine based on Tom Kerrigan's Stobor (definitely not in the top tier of
chess programs, as is ChessGenius).  Pretty though, and it can read and write
PGN.
