I find it funny that PocketCrafty is still 15th out of the 55 programs reviewed. I started writing a PocketPC UI for Crafty because there were no other strong chess programs for the iPAQ at the time. I stopped work on it when Richard Lang ported ChessGenius to the Pocket PC. I'm glad people still find it useful after all this time. Trivia: the pieces used in PocketCrafty are based on the same Cheq font used in Deep Green, the strong gnuchess-based program for the Apple Newton. Ian Osgood
