World Class PC, Mac and Palm Chess Software on your desktop and in the Palm of your hand!

Palm HIARCS playing chess on Pocket PC!

You can now run the world's strongest PDA chess program, Palm Chess HIARCS, on your Pocket PC under the StyleTap platform!

Under the StyleTap platform the famous Palm HIARCS ARM chess engine will run fast and with full features on Pocket PCs. We have noticed on Pocket PC 2003 with the latest Intel XScale processors, the performance is about 25% slower than on a Palm with the same CPU. Depending on the processor and the Pocket PC OS version the performance may be different. You are advised to check the product for satisfactory operation on your Pocket PC before purchase.

Due to the fact the Palm Desktop is not available on the Pocket PC/StyleTap platform it is not possible to import and export PGN games.

Pocket PCs with a QVGA screen resolution of 240x320 will have the choice of a 160x160 or 240x240 screen display under the StyleTap platform. Pocket PCs with a VGA screen resolution of 480x640 will have the choice of a 320x320 or 480x480 screen display under the StyleTap platform.
