A good review. It's worth pointing out that the strength increase in 15.0 over
14.9 is considerable, certainly more than that tentatively suggested (50 Elo
points). I find that my overclocked Zire (Tigermark 1.17) with 15.0 plays a
stronger game than my overclocked Clie (Tigermark 2.08) with 14.9!

I see you haven't included a screen dump using the Symbol font. This is no great
loss as I don't see why it was added to 15.0 (anything which has a knight not
looking roughly like a horse's head, for example, is bad news with few pixels to
play with) but it's worth mentioning.
