It is complicated with Pocket Fritz, because only Pocket Fritz 1
was based on Fritz. Pocket Fritz 2 was Shredder-based, on Pocket Fritz 3
is based on Hiarcs. (It is just a policy of ChessBase company to give
all of them the name "Pocket Fritz".)

Perhaps, I should have written more clearly that from the SSDF list
I took the strongest entry (=Rybka 3) for "normal" hardware and the
strongest entry (=PF 3) for "mobile" hardware.

Concerning MCTS, also memory size has to be taken into account...
But according to a recent posting by David Fotland 3,000 playouts per
move already give level 3-kyu for MFoG. Expecting more progress in
"evaluation functions" I believe that before 2014/2015 we will have
dan-level programs with less than 3,000 playouts per move.
