This game was played between a Palm T5 416 MHz using Hiarcs 9 with permanent
brain off against Fritz 5.32 using Shredder8.ctg and Fritz was thinking on the
opponent's time.
It is sometimes amazing to see how far handheld playing strength has advanced
lately:

Of course one game means next to nothing, but it is interesting to see that
given the right situation, even a Palm-based unit can overcome a huge hardware
edge over a well known program like Fritz 5.32.
