Palm Chess, Playing chess on your Palm

What is the best chess game for your Palm
What program on the market is best to plan chess on your Palm? I found the best one was a free one. Every palm chess program claims to be the strongest. The one I found was not only free, but the easiest to use and perhaps the strongest. It also has great skins and an opening book trainer better than the ones that cost money. This Plam chess program is called open chess and found here: Palm chess
History of Palm Chess
It dates back to the 1990s and was the original GNU DOS chess program. I think on my new Palm it play about 2700 ELO. That is as good as it gets. They ran tests on slower older palms and it’s was about 2400, but that was a while back now with new palm speeds I think it’s over 2700. Wow.
Palm chess - chess tiger
My first chess program was Chess tiger. It played ok, but in my opinion felt very artificial, like a computer. When I change my palm I could not get the free upgrade as mentioned on their site and the customer service was not the best. I looked on download.com and I saw other people had the same experience so I can not recommend this program.
Other Palm Chess programs
Chess Master is pretty good. It is colorful and fun but the same as Open Chess.
Pocket chess is not the strongest but is ok, if you are not an expert.
HAIRCS very good up there with Chess Master
There is also chess genius which I do not know anything about.
Why pay for a Palm chess game
Yes, why pay for a palm chess program when the best one on the market is free. Try it yourself. It’s called open chess. I even herd some of the commercial ones, took part of the code to this open source program. It has seven different engines. So it’s really seven programs in one, and each engine has many options. Yes it’s like having seven palm chess programs in one and it’s free and lightweight. Every Engine plays different. It’s really better than the commercial ones in my opinion. Free Palm chess has multi language interfaces, with translations in : English, French, Dutch, German, Hebrew, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish
My recommendation for Palm chess is Open Chess for playing free palm chess
