While this engine does seem to play chess well enough, what features will chess partner bring to the pocket pc that we can't get with genius/fritz/eventually tiger? I've already purchased genius and fritz (genius because it was cheap and I could get it online, so I'd have a chess program for my new IPAQ, fritz because of the added features..), and will probably get tiger because I like the playing style, but why your program? I'm not trying to be overly harsh or anything, but the pocket pc already has chess _playing_ programs covered pretty well. What I'd like to see is a program with features the others don't have. Especially if the engine isn't really that unique. One of the main things I use my IPAQ for is so that I can study from chess books without having to use a set. I export a set of games from chess assistant into pgn, and move them onto my ipaq. I can then play through the games easily. It would be a major selling point for me if your program somehow facilitated this process better than the other programs. I don't have pocket fritz yet, but genius doesn't allow me to enter variations, and this would be a very convenient feature. Perhaps more database related features would be useful too. I guess I'm simply asking what features do you plan on adding to your program that will make someone like me want to purchase it? -Kevin
