The lastest issue of Selective Search (SS) has it at an estimated rating of 2540
on a 126 Mhz Palm.  So a 2600 (+/- 50) guessestimate by me for a 300 Mhz Palm is
not that far off.

Some games at 126 mhz

Tasc R30  6.5 3.5
Meph Genius 9-1
Meph London 9.5-0.5
Meph London Pro 9.5-0.5

In addiiton, SS reported this month that a 400 Mhz Palm Hiarcs went 3-1 vs GM
Jan Gusafsson (2616) recently in a 4 game match on Playchess (Game 30 + 10
second per move).  It may not be 2600 , but I suspect if not, it is very close.

Best,

Michael
