Chess Tiger is probably best for PalmOS because it offers full engine statistics
as a menu option after the computer move has been made (unlike Genius).

A problem with PalmOS machines is the ease of overclocking (much easier than any
other platform); my Zire can be stably overclocked to twice the notional clock
speed (32MHz rather than 16MHz). That makes comparisons tricky.

I am amused to see that, even at 32MHz, Tiger 15.0 manages about 400 nodes per
second. Yace Paderborn on my Athlon 2.4GHz manages over three orders of
magnitude more (roughly 500,000 per second) yet Tiger can still whip me more
often than not ;)
