"This chess program "will beat the pants off of you". Very strong yet user friendly for the weaker players too, the Genius is a clear Winner!!" "l´adversaire peut prévoir plusieurs coups en avance et développer un jeu que le joueur naïf ne pourra difficilement renverser" [more] "I have played the original ChessGenius 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, for the PC, So when my wife surprised me with a pocket pc, I was tickled to find out that chessgenius was available for it. Very strong and aggressive program. Excellent, very enjoyable graphics! Well done, programmer/ Keep up the good work! Highly Recommended!!!" "Excellent. This is the best chess game I've seen for the iPAQ. A really good example of how to get a ship into a bottle!. I like the tutor."
