Like just wait a minute!   A guy asks about a new Pocket Chess computer and
someone starts complaining about tournament cheating!    I own several handheld
chess computers and I've never even been to a chess tournament!   Handheld chess
computers are very convenient portable chess computers.   Nothing says you have
to cheat with them!!!!!

(By the way, what few postings I've seen about Pocket Fritz indicate very poor
performance....1700 Elo at best.)   Chess Tiger could probably beat it with a
16Mhz Palm.
