The programmer claims a rating of around 2500 on it, which is nice in theory. Unfortunately, when on infinite analysis the little squirt only gets up to a depth of eleven or twelve after what seems like a year of waiting. From my experience with Fritz, Junior, Tiger, Shredder, Crafty and Hiarcs running on a 3 GHz machine, I have learned that moves are not trustworthy until average depth of search is at least 16 or 18. Hence, I would not trust a pocket PC for analysis. That does not mean, however, that I could win against it, although I have not played any games yet. I use it for different purposes.
