Pondering OFF (it's the only way if run both side are played from the same unit,
not the ideal setup - but it's the only one I have.)

Critical error. Loses a piece. Later analysis show PF2 switching back and
forth between this move and Bc6 - switching to this move again in around 25
seconds. The problem is that the knight is left unprotected after white chases
the king away, setting up the exchange loss with 16...Nxg4. PCG fails low on
Bg4 after a few seconds. After the exchange loss, the rest is technique which
PCG played very well. At move 27 ...Bc2?, black was again in danger in getting
a piece trap, and lost a a couple of pawns to save the Bishop}

Again, another not so great move by black here (27....Bc2). PCG fails low after
a few seconds and switches to a different move on the same position.

One game do not prove anything - and I plan to play more. But I have not seen
anything yet to suggest that PF2 is clearly stronger than CG on a Dell Axim
running WM 2003 with ROM A05. In fact, all the evidence is pointing to that CG
is at least equal. One big difference - CG consistently sees 3x+ nps of PF2
on this unit. 3x+ nps differential is tough to make up in "knowledge" and
"pruning".
