    hand held chess

    I`m looking for a hand held chess computer thats around 1500 - 1700, all the ones I electrically have found are 1570 in 40 moves 2 hours. If I had 2 hours to play chess it wouldn`t need to be portable !!!
    Does any one know of such a machine thats raesonably quick and plays a bit stronger than a muppet.
    All the excalibur products are not upto much as far as I can annually see and there isn`t much else around. Unless I`m missing the obvious links cheers

    KS> I`m looking for a hand held chess computer thats KS> around 1500 - 1700 what I like is the Palm with ChessTiger 14.9a ( http://www.chesstiger.com/ ). http://home.earthlink.net/~kantack/lcdchess/chesstiger.htm gives an Elo rating of 2200. On http://www.rebel.nl/~chesstiger/faq.html#trainerelo , they give a range (depending on the choosen level) of 1200-2000 USCF (1000-1800 FIDE). There`re other chess software products available for the PalmOS plattform, even Open Source (eg. OpenChess on http://www.geocities.com/sonaltessefr/ ), but I don`t know nothing about their playing strength.
