We're looking for decent chess software for a Sony Clie handheld. Any recommendations?

(I Searched the forums but nothing came up.)

Thanks! 🙂 I notice that it says, "The unregistered version lets you play games but switches to a weaker level after 22 moves." What does that mean exactly? That after 22 moves, it gets easier to beat the computer? The computer kind of throws in the towel after 22 moves? That could be frustrating, yes? You'd never know how well you were doing?

Yes, I have chesstiger for the SonyClie but have not registered it. You are right, it drops down to a very weak level after 22 moves and it does get quite frustrating. It does play very strong at the beginning on the highest level. I normally get beaten before I get that far though. 😲

The unregistered version is frustrating but the registered version is cheap.

One of the best features is keeping your games on the Clie as memos. Then you can analyse your games on the go. This is good for one or two games but I just need to find some easier way to synchronise all of my current RedHotPawn games to the Clie without cutting and pasting into memos.

Well, Hiarcs for Palm just came out and is supposed to be head and shoulders above everyone else.

If Hiarcs is as strong as its website says it will take ChessTiger apart. That said ChessTiger runs at about 200 BCF on my Clie NX70.

Neither of them can import a PGN file with more than one game in though. That's what I find frustrating.
