HIARCS for Palm has just won a GM tournament in the Philippines where many chess masters competed. Hiarcs played on an ordinary standard Palm Lifedrive PDA and became the first handheld chess player in history to win a tournament with Grandmasters and International Masters. The tournament had no less than 2 Grandmasters (including Super GM Mark Paragua), 7 International Masters, 5 Fide Masters, 18 National Masters and 1 Women's International Master, and not forgetting 1 handheld PDA!
