Re: How to use Palm Pilot & Chess Tiger to practice tactics?

At one point there was a project to convert Polgar's 5334 Chess book to pgn.
There is some information about the project here:

http://tibetiantick.port5.com/polgar/faq.html

Don't know what has become of this project.  I own a copy of the book,
though, and I have all 5334 positions in pgn notation as a text file.  If
you purchase a copy of the book, with some diligent Internet searching you
too may find a copy of this file for your (legal) use.

The new version of Chess Tiger places no limit on the number of games you
may store in the Palm's Memopad database -- the previous version was limited
to something like 200 games.

So, if you have legal rights to this material, you can spend some hours
cutting and pasting each of the 5334 positions into your Memopad database
via the Palm desktop.  Or, you can do as I have done and write a program to
build the memo.pdb via the p5-Palm perl library:

http://search.cpan.org/~arensb/p5-Palm-1.3.0/

Once you've got the database assembled, have CT play opposite you in each of
these exercises, or have it play your move if you get stuck.  Awesome.
