Hi Adam.

If you believe the elo ratings for the current crop of PC programs represent
their "true" strength than the posted elo for the Palm programs are also
correct. I've tested Hiarcs, Chess Tiger and Chess Genius on a Palm Zire 21
against various pc opponents on a Laptop Pent 3 850 and have found the ratings
to be right on. Of the three Hiarcs is by far the strongest. My rating at game
in 30' with ponder on for pc programs was 2425. I played 100 games a piece for
Chess Tiger and Chess Genius. I stopped testing Hiarcs after 60 games because it
was apparent that it really was that strong. For Hiarcs some of its opponents
icluded Gothmog 4.6, Fritz 5.32, Comet B54, Nejmet 307, Tao 5.4, Anmon 5.21 and
Pharaon 2.62. I've also played Hiarcs against the standalone unit Cosmos which
is rated at 2000 and out of 50 -60 games Hiarcs only lost about 3-4 times.
Hope this helps.
