HIARCS is the only handheld chess program in the world which has won Grandmaster tournaments. In August it won the 2009 Mescusor Cup in Buenos Aires, Argentina ahead of Grandmasters, while scoring an incredible undefeated 9.5/10 points (9 wins, one draw). This is a performance of 2900 Elo which is the best chess performance rating for any handheld device in history and higher than Garry Kasparov's peak Elo rating!
