What about strength too? >THX for any advice... Jason Buy a cheap Palm and ChessTiger for it. A Palm is smaller than a Gameboy and it can do many other things than games ( for example it can handle your email and calendar). The ChessMaster for the Gameboy is said to be a very weak opponent - I haven't played against it though. When it is about Tiger's strength here is a snippet from the latest SSDF list(tests against other computers at tournament time control) 48 Chess Tiger 14.9 Palm m515 16MB 42MHz 2101 69 -74 100 39% 2180 49 Atlanta SH7000 20 MHz 2089 29 -28 647 69% 1948 50 Sapphire II 2009 34 -32 464 63% 1919 So you see it competes successfully with strong dedicated units. It's easy to use, you can limit its strength, has good piece sets, can be used to analyze - I like it :). Pocket Fritz needs a Pocket PC - I don't have one so I can't comment. What I don't like about them is that they are too expensive IMHO.
