A quick look on Google is annoying; there's a _vast_ number of reviews by people who say things like 'I'm no Kasparov but ...' and then praise PocketChess to the skies. The incompetence of the reviewers is more dangerous than the incompetence of the program =/ I also note the relative number of downloads: PalmGear 212,582 PocketChess 168,617 Genius N/A Tiger Handango 83,473 Tiger 46,747 PocketChess 36,483 Genius The second is much more like it, although why PocketChess is above, never mind anywhere near, Genius is annoying.
