Chess Genius 1.3 for Palm: Public Beta available for download at

http://www.chessgenius.com/v13.htm

Richard Lang's Chess Genius 1.3 beta for the Palm PDA
is now available for public trial. If no significant
problems are reported in the next few days,
the final version will be posted to the various Internet Palm archives.
(e.g.: www.palmgear.com).
The Chess Genius home page is: http://www.chessgenius.com/

From the website:

" New Features:

1) Permanent brain option:
   ChessGenius assumes that the human player will play the hint move
   and calculates its reply whilst waiting. It will play
   stronger.

2) Preferences/  Players: Analyze game:
   Like 2 player mode but ChessGenius calculates continuously and
   shows its thinking on the small board. Useful for replaying
   games to see where mistakes have been made or for playing over
   an imported PGN Master game.

3) Tutor Option:
   Intended for beginners: ChessGenius will warn if a blunder / weak move
   ( or a brilliant sacrifice! ) is played and give the option
   of takeback.


Bugs in 1.2 now corrected:

1) Problem with Palm III updated to OS3.5 Version 1.2 did not run properly
   on old Palm III's and Professionals which have been updated to OS3.5.
   All text was unreadable.

2) Book moves played from set-up positions.
   Version 1.2 sometimes played book moves on set up positions that
   were imported as PGN with a FEN header.  "
