I didn't only say positive things. I said also that one thing I missed was the
possibility to play engine-engine in Palm Chesstiger.

It is true that PC-chessprograms are stronger because of faster hardware than
Palm has. But that doesn't matter very much. Chesstiger on Palm plays about
20000 in Fide Elo. That is enough for 99.99% of people. So it is no big problem
that the ELO is not 2700.
I have always had the opinion that the importance of strength is overvalued.
Nearly all chesscomputers are strong enough for most of us. And I don't think
that you use Palm for analyzing e.g. Here is a PC better of course.

I still love Chesstiger for Palm, and have had much fun with it. And that is the
important thing isn't it?
