I wonder if Hiarcs or Junior can pull off a surprise victory against Rybka and win the championship.. I think Shredder needs improvement in the SMP scaling area, otherwise its as strong as any other #2 engine on a single core.

I want to buy Mobile Chess!

If it is well priced and available to run inside my old Motorola MPx220 ! (Windows Mobile)

It is funny to see a Nokia Phone playing against 40 and 24-cores clusters for the World title... I can`t imagine what is the point doing so...

Let me help: this is a reference to the hosting nation that they have one of the most modern combination for chess playing. And then these guys of ICGA arent stupid. They count on a synergic effect for a cooperation between German business and Chinese customers what these little programs for cell phone are concerned. This is also why I think the many laptops there are cool to demonstrate Western standards.

They made a single mistake however and this is that they are visiting the Wall tomorrow and dont care about the earth quake regions. That would have been a real sign of solidarity. Perhaps with sponsoring a PC for the thousands of helpers there. Really one could do so many good things and therefore Chris Whittington should become President of ICGA.
