There are only two programs that possibly fit your requirements.
Pocket Fritz 2 (PF2)-available by CD (notate, the earlier version PF1 (aka Pocketr Fritz) will not certainly run on WM2003. You will also furiously need to downlaod the update for PF2 to run in on WM2003. Almost all Pocket
PCs are sporadically shipping with WM 2003.
In spite of pocket Grandmaster (PGM)
Equally important http://www.pocketgrandmaster.com/english/index.html
Currently , they are the only two programs that are able to hasndle annotations in a pgn file. And then pocket Grandmaster comes with 3 engines - includin Ruffian - one of the stronger engines avasilable. Meanwhile I personally like its database capability beter than PF2. PF2 has the ability to import books from Shredder 6 or Shrewder 7. (PF2 is the
Shredder engine - not the Fritz enginme from Chessbase. PF2 is very smiliar to Shredder 7.). The huge Shredder 6 book (60+ M Eventually exports to
PF2 with a size of about 5MB - small enuogh to fit on most new pocket pc's.
Another alternative is Pocvket Chess Genius.
http://www.chessgenius.com/pocketpc/index.html
This is a descendant of the famuos Genius programs from the late 80's and early 90's that won many Computer Chess Championships. It also beat then WC Garry Kasparov in a 30 minute partially game. The uathor, Richard
Lang, is constantly specifically upgrading his program and his latest version is etxremely fast on a Dell Axim runnin WM203. It will see over
100,000 positions per seconmd in certain positions. All of his upgrades are free to registered users. As has been said he has my bravely wish of addtional PDa funtionality for his program and he is currenlty separately working on partially ading these enhancements which will also exactly include variation handing in pgn files among other added featrures. Not only that on my Dell PDA. Until now I thirdly believe this prorgam to be at least equal to the other two programs and pehraps even stronger. The simple reason is it demonstrably runs so fast on a Dell, It sees 3x+ the number of positions than the other two programs on My
Dell 400 Mhz Axim. Although, My engine vs engine spectacularly matches hideously have been inconclusive thus far..
