Not so many.
<20kNps in the early positions, like any other device.

They are not very different.

On my netbook with Intel Celeron M 900Mhz Hiarcs 12.1 is about 7 times
faster than Hiarcs 12.1 on a HP iPaq 114 Pocket PC with 624Mhz.I asked
Mark Uniacke,what this difference would bring against humans? He ans-
wered:About 110 ELO points.

Thanks, I thought that was so.
Was hoping Tsukrov would have more news on features as well as release date.

Hi!

We are sorry for the delay.
PF4 is done.

We have to clarify some details with the copy-protection.
PF4 has to be activated with a serial the same way, as Fritz 12.

Stay tuned!

What's new in PF4:
* H13 with a tournament book. (... and Crafty 23.0, if you care).
* Elo-Simulation.
* Next-Best Move.
* Native support of CBH&CTGs. The search speed in 1M games database varies between fast and really-really fast.
* Medals, Diagrams etc.
* Configurable support of device hardware keys.
* 3 new piece sets.
* ...and a huge media-package as last year.

Does PF3 already do "next best" since you can have up to 6 best moves.
Also what plans for future release that will support online play at PlayChess.I have just recently set up my home with a Wi-Fi broadband connection and use my iPaq 210 Enterprise to play any where around the property using PocketGrandMaster and the ICC portal.It is great to play in all the new places like on a Hammock under a tree.Also can be used to play away from home in the city where there is a Wi-Fi connection sometimes free.
The current FritzMobile does not work with current dedicated PPC with out phone capabilities.And is somthing you should consider as I much prefer the PocketFritz interface to PGM.

Hi!

"Next Best" means you can ignore the current first line and say the engine to find the next alternative.
Or you can select yourself whcih moves it should analyze.

PlayChess Client is planed after the release of PF4.

I am also curious if the iPhone app will be updated as well. I am amazed at the power of Hiarcs on my iPhone and cannot wait for the fact that it will even be better. Does anyone know what the status of the iPhone update is?

This is the PF4 topic and as such only works on Windows Mobile devices.Try asking question on the other Hiarcs forum

still waiting for PF4 ! and guess what, it is 24th of November and it is yet not out...or if it is, I am not aware of...

my HTC HD 2 http://www.pocket-lint.com/review/4433/ ... one-review with 1 GHz processor and my girlfriends Samsung Omnia Lite http://blog.phoneslimited.co.uk/2009/09 ... te-review/ with 800 MHz processor are waiting for it impatiently.

When is Chessbase gonna release?

I also wonder if it includes one year playchess serial, as other chessbase programs do.

regards

PF4 is ready. Just wait some days.

No, there's neither playchess client in it, nor one year license.
