Go up one level in this thread


I believe that the best three Palm pgn readers are, in rank order:
#1 PocketChess 2.5
       (has Windows companion, synchronization of PGN between Palm and
companion,
         supports PGN variations, annotations, comments)
#2 ChessPad
       (lacks Windows companion, less information in database view on Palm)
#3 Chess Tiger
        (lacks Windows companion, games synched as memos, no
variation/annotation/comment viewing support

However, as a Mac user, I can't use the Windows utilities #1 and #2 have, so my
input
is not definitive.

For a general index to PDA chess software, see:

You can read the PocketChess 2.5 help online here - see the sections on
databases, PGN and hotsynching.

Similarly, for ChessPad, you can go to:

and download the manual in Word/pdf format.
