Thanks for reporting this.

That adds to the data we have about the strength of Chess Tiger for Palm.

I suspect the Novag Turquoise has the same program, or a better version, than
the Novag Sapphire, which is rated 2012 by the SSDF.

But the Turquoise (26.6MHz) is 2.66 times faster than the Sapphire (10MHz), so
it must be 100 elo points above the Sapphire.

So it could be that in your match Chess Tiger for Palm has beaten a computer
that we can evaluate around 2100 SSDF elo.

This data is in line with the results I have collected so far.
