I don't recall seeing any significant number of games played BETWEEN the top
programs on the PocketPC.  I guess it's difficult because the moves must be made
manually and most people don't have 2 PPCs?

Couldn't somebody devise a way to have two PPC programs play each other without
human intervention for each move?  Either on 2 separate units or one 1 unit?
(Plugged into AC, battery drainage shouldn't be a problem.)

Then we could get a better idea of exactly how Genius 1.5, Ruffian, and PF2
compare on current PPC hardware.
