Yes I did use Hiarcs 9.41 on a Palm T3 for the entire tournament. Moves were
entered by hand, I set time control 5 0 on the Palm, games were 5 5 in the
tourney. Hiarcs engine was set with ponder=on.

I mouse-slipped a Queen away against Crafty in the first game in an equal(ish)
position and resigned, but thankfully made no further mistakes in the tourney.

Seemychess's finger notes are a joke. For this tourney seemychess was playing a
"Monkey" variant of Deep Sjeng - i.e. stupid moves, and it lost all its games.
ANYTHING would have beaten it.

Finally, yes, I did draw against Shredder running on Dual Opterons! Mostly
thanks to the book.
