Chess Genius (Mobile)

At blitz I'd guess it would give Magnus a run for his money.
At tournament time controls I'd guess 2500.

Chess Genius on Palm Zire 21/31 was considered by some to be rated near 2250 on the SSDF list. The iPhone Chess Genius is nearly the same , if not the exact same chess engine , but on 6 or 6+ runs nearly 40 times faster. If you use the conservative estimate that a doubling of speed is worth 50 ELO, you could argue that the iPhone Chess Genius would be rated at ~ 2500 range. As one who played both at one second per move, I could beat the Zire on occasion at 1 second per move. Have not yet accomplished that feat yet on the iphone 6. So I believe it is fair estimate and the hardware has made a notable change in strength.

A very worthy opponent for most of us that are carbon based.

Thanks to both of you for the reply. I tested the position on my S6 Edge, it solved it in one second using the settings you gave. On my Samsung Galaxy Note 12.2 Tablet it took two seconds @623355/sec.

The original problem had the black Qh3 and pawn g3 so might take longer. This mate test position looks like the one that Novag dedicated machines had in the manual showing the difference in the find mate in x compared to general game play. Mate in x was faster on this position than a general analysis search.

Wow! I missed that. Now I get ...
