On a pentium III 866, Chess Tiger has produced results of 2788 against Human GM's (scored two GM norms). Solid 2700 to 2800 player on 1GHZ. On AMD 1.2 Mhz, Chess Tiger is a solid 2700 against top commercial chess programs. Thus on an Intel 1Ghz you Chess Tiger is a solid 2700+ player. On the Palm, Chess Tiger is about 2100 to 2200 or about 600 points weaker. If strength is the most important feature for you, go with the 1Ghz machine (laptop).
