This is excellent news!  Richard's programs are a perfect match for the Pilot!
In my opinion, the Pilot/Genius combo is the ideal portable chess computer.

The Mephisto Roma, upon which this program is based, has an old SSDF rating of
2030 on a 14Mhz 68020.  I would expect ChessGenius on a standard 17Mhz Palm to
exceed this strength (especially if the Palm is overclocked).

I am surprised that Scott Ludwig would report on this, since he has a competing
product (PocketChess).  Perhaps they collaborated on the UI?

I will be downloading Genius as soon as I get home tonight!  I will test its
strength against the SapphireII later this week (at shortest time controls,
obviously, since the pre-release version is time-limited to 1-sec/move after
move 20).
