Thus we are left with computer vs computer games and estimates by programmers and users. I no longer believe that computer vs computer ratings can reliably predict ratings against human opponents. Computers vs Computer ratings are more reliable in predicting ratings against computer opponnets. Chess Genius at its own webpage (http://www.chessgenius.com/faq.htm) cites your own review at Palm Gear as thes best independent assessment of it's playing strength. I think 2000 USCF is in the ball park. Tiger for Palm would be a little higher. Neither of these units can hold their own against the best portables TASC R30, Mephisto Genius 68030 etc. I have an old Saitek 2100 that these units can beat up on a little bit. I think the rating of the 2100 was near 1900-1950 , with a very weak end game.
