PPC Genius sees up to 5x the number of nodes ,although on my PC - Genius and Crafty see roughly the same number of nodes. The 5x differential is too much to overcome imo. I have not played many games against the two -- so it is mostly first impression. Richard Lang has maximized his throughput on WM2003 Dell Axim. In addition , the foreign Dell roms do better than USA roms (for Crafty at least anyway). Chess Genius on my USA Dell 400 Mhz is 33% faster than Alain 300 Mhz French ROM Dell - right where it should be. Yet,PPC Crafty is only 7% faster on USA 400 Mhz Dell than the French 300 Mhz Dell. But... CEBoard has many features that no other chess program has in one package - it has two engines, full PGN search capability - name, ELO (if staed in ELO tag) and position search and handles PGN variations. When you have it do the search, it will automatically search every pgn file. It appears to be fast, but my pgn files are very small. I haven't tried a big file. The program is still beta - and bugs are still being worked out. It is not quite ready for primetime yet - but it's getting close. .. grab your books from here if you do not have any http://www.crafty-chess.com/win32.html - PPC Crafty uses the exact same book files as the PC (same format) CEBoard with engine requires WM2003 (aka PPC2003), CEBOARD without engine will work fine on PPC2002 - it is a separate download. did I mention the price ? -- FREE --
