Note the absence of ChessGenius, which is available for both Palm and PocketPC. The PDA tournament is a joke: of course PocketFritz is going to win (at least, assuming they use a 200 MHz StrongARM PocketPC), and both Pocket and Purple Chess are amateur compared to Tiger. This section, and the "playoff" with the BELCT winner, is merely a publicity stunt for Pocket Fritz and PalmTiger. Heck if I'd known about this, I would have entered PocketCrafty to give PocketFritz *some* competition. What *would* be nice? A dedicated computer section, also open to PDA's. I haven't seen enough matchups between the strongest dedicated computers (which haven't developed much since the advent of the cheap PC & chess program combo) and the new crop of PDA programs. With faster processors, modern programs, and enough memory for hash tables; I would expect the PDA's to win. Ian (kinda cranky this morning)
