This means that >Chess Tiger could even reach up to 2400 in Elo rating points. I suspect that. If we go with the double the speed, increase 70 point rule, CT should go from 2100 on a 42 Mhz Palm to around 2250 on 200 Mhz Palm. It would be 2320 on 400 Mhz Palm, and 2390 on 800 Mhz. These are of course estimates. Top programs on Pentium 90 on the latest SSDF are: 65 Chess Tiger 11.8 Pentium 90 MHz 2382 43 -43 261 50% 2383 70 Rebel 9.0 Pentium 90 MHz 2335 23 -23 890 47% 2357 71 Hiarcs 6.0 Pentium 90 MHz 2333 18 -18 1437 51% 2329 72 Genius 5.0 DOS Pentium 90 MHz 2329 18 -18 1558 47% 2348 74 MChess Pro 6.0 Pentium 90 MHz 2310 17 -17 1726 45% 2343 80 Nimzo 3.5 Pentium 90 MHz 2293 22 -22 998 46% 2323 82 Junior 4.0 Pentium 90 MHz 2287 22 -22 1035 42% 2342 82 Chessmaster 5000 Pentium 90 MHz 2287 49 -45 240 67% 2162 84 Shredder 1.0 Pentium 90 MHz 2282 59 -58 145 53% 2263 85 Nimzo 3.0 Pentium 90 MHz 2279 26 -25 767 58% 2221 Let us assume that above programs' average is 2300. Granted that CT 15 is more sophistaced than CT 11.8, but can a Palm program on a 200-400 MHz Palm be as strong as a chess program on a Pentium 90? I have no idea about chip designs, but I guestimate that a chip designed for a desktop, even if it is 5-6 years old, can make up for the difference in speed compared to a chip designed to be a help application.
