>Chess Tiger for Palm and Chess Tiger for PC share the same engine code.

I think Chess Tiger is one of good and lucky engines to move into Palm because
of nature of your design. Many other engines will find so many difficulties. For
example, some have to rewrite their assembly codes or remove them. Cache for
handhelds is also different from PC (so many optimizations based on cache will
not work). Some advantages of bitboard design will be lose comparing with other
designs.

One of terrible things I have seen that poor programs for handheld may be
undersearch (search depths are so shallow for fast games, say 3-5 depths) and
may make many fatal mistakes on tactics.
