I've since figured that Pocket Chess lets me have one file with many hundreds of positions, and it can import these directly, so it seems to be by far more advanced than anything else on the palm when it comes to this kind of exercise, so I think I will stick with it for practice exercises and Chess Tiger or other for playing against the Palm... >It is true that you will do 300 copy/paste, in 300 separated memos, but is it >really that hard? Let's see: file > open > import PGN, and can have 300 positions in about five seconds. 300 copy and pastes.... much longer. I can write a script to grab the positions from the file instead, but again why bother? I'm surprised at how weak all the current Palm offerings are for this kind of thing, which seems quite handy in a pocket-sized device.
