I've recently played a quick 6 game match between the Novag Opal Plus and Pocket Chess running on a Palm Pilot Pro. At 10 sec/move the Palm Pilot crushed the Opal Plus 6-0. The USCF rates the Opal Plus at 1800 but in my opinion is far less than that. Still, I was surprized by the result. I found the Opal Plus nothing to write home about but played well-enough to amuse. I thought the result would be the other way round. This result encouraged me to pit the Palm Pilot against my next strongest machine, a Karpov Grandmaster. The GM is rated around 2000 and I feel that's fairly acurate. The GM crushed it. So, Pocket Chess probably plays around 1500 to 1600 I would say. Not bad for something the size of a deck of cards!
