James,

It's not a mistake - Genius is fast.  On a 400 MHz ARM it can consider 100knps.
Of courte nps is not the only factor in playing strength but do note that Genius
is the only program for the Pocket PC / Palm that has been specifically writen /
optimized for the ARM chip.  I'm not sure if it is the strongest - I also have
Pocket Fritz 2 and that seems to have the edge but that's a subjective judgment.
 If I had to rank them I would say:

1. Pocket Fritz 2
2. Genius
3. Ruffian (Pocket Grandmaster)
4. Gromit (PG)
5. SOS (PG)

Just my opinion,

Steve
