Currently not, because we think for most users PocketGrandmaster still
offers more value for the money. At least that's what some users told us ;-)

As an author of PocketGrandmaster I don't want to compare PocketGrandmaster
to PocketFritz. Both programs have unique features, e.g. on the one hand
PocketFritz offers access to online-databases (if your Pocket PC is
connected to a mobile) and on the other hand PocketGrandmaster offers
two different chess engines.

If you want to test PocketGrandmaster you can get a a free trial-version
at http://www.pocketgrandmaster.com, Handango or PocketGear.
