iPod and computer chess

[krazyken]

Actually I played the game on the same ipod switching back and forth between them. The time was variable somewhere between 10 and 30 seconds per move. I had Glaurung playing a 5 mins + 2 sec inc.

My own first game (Shredder at 2400 Elo, Glaurung at 5+2 with permanent brain on):

Not very well played by either engine, if you ask me. Playing good chess on such a slow CPU is hard.
