I have actually won 3 min game vs Pocket Genius om my Cassiopeia (150Mhz Mips)
and I'm a pretty ordinary chess player. Normally it kills me with some
tactics......

Anyway, even if I like to have as much playing strenght as possbile on my pocket
device, I think some of the features of Pocket Fritz are nearly just as
important. To name one or two: Multiple variations when PF is analysing, and
beeing abel to enter variations when playing through games from newspapers,
books etc.

Is that in Palm Tiger?
