What is the best handheld portable chess computer on the market today? Would like good graphics and strong rating, and portablity and battery life...

Advance Level thinks for 30 min/ move So it is very difficult for me

THE BOBBY FISCHER THAT WE LOVED by GM Larry Evans (Chess Life, March 2008) During the time when bogus rationales were discussed at length in a vain attempt to "justify" the multitude of Fischer demands, Larry Evans wrote a nice piece pointing out that they were not fair, and Chess Lies published it. That was too much "sunlight" for Mr. Fischer to handle. -- Greg Kennedy
