Subject: Chess Genius for PalmOS ARM machines beta

Richard Lang has been quietly turning the handle, I have been doing initial beta
testing to get the obvious bugs out, and he wants more beta testers as per the
message here:

http://www.chessgenius.com/index.html

"ChessGenius Palm goes ARM native. Beta testers wanted. The next update to
ChessGenius for the Palm Computing® Platform will include an ARM native chess
engine. Up to 20 times faster! Hash tables! 400 ELO stronger! If you are willing
to test a beta version please contact richard@chessgenius.com and mention which
model Palm device you have."

You will be reassured that the minimalistic user interface has undergone only
minor changes; the ARM engine is the real change and, if you are feeling
relatively stupid, the Dragonball engine stays as an option.

(On my relatively slow Zire 71 the nodes per second are still a factor of 8-10
more than the Dragonball engine :)
