I guess it's difficult because the moves must be made >manually and most people don't have 2 PPCs? SSDF tested the Palm Chess Tiger - why not the Pocket PC. I have played a few games between them on a Axim and many against them. The latest Genius (v1.5) is so fast(nps) on a Axim under Wm2003 (PPC 2003) that I believe it's pretty close. Prior to CG 1.5, I always felt (subjective) that the pecking order on my Ipaq with 206 Arm processor was: PF2 PGM PCG 1.4 I am not so sure now on my Dell Axim w X/scale 400 Mhz. Pocvket Chess Genius 1.5 sees between 60K to 120K nps on my Axim - geneally its nps is 3x than Pf2 and PGM in any position. It solves many positions faster than PF2 and PGM. It was not 3x, on my Ipaq - I'm not sure what it was - but it was not 3x. I should be able test soon how much faster 1.5 is than 1.4 on xscale soon. I believe all 3 are stronger than 2500 USCF on a Dell Axim (Rom A05 WM2003 400 Mhz) and I have been playing with chess computers along time (>20 years). I have played 5 games with PF2 A9xim against CG3 (P4 1.7 Ghz) and it's leading 2-1-1 (Game/30). I have played 2 games PF2 vs PCG (game 30/ pondering off) and it's tied 1-1. > >Couldn't somebody devise a way to have two PPC programs play each other without >human intervention for each move?
