I have a much harder time beating Pocket Fritz 2 or PPC Genius. I don't know if that is due to the PGM interface. My PPC device is a 400MHz compaq PPC. I have tried the Hiarcs on PDA and felt that it was extremely strong. Much stronger than the PPC versions mentioned. At least as a human player I found it stronger. I think with PPC platform a lot affects the strength of the software. Peripheral things such as VGA resolution etc... could have tremendous effect on the strength of the programs. The data you have provided is great but I think more data is required.
