Apparently this is what it looks like:


I guess I will stick with pen and paper

Thanks for your opinion about your experience. My device is very sensitive when I touch the screen, and I have no such problem, but I will see in future tournaments what happens with other players and what are their opinions about that.

First of all, talking about electronic sensory boards, of course that is an ideal to play and not bother to write any moves,and for organizers it is easy but the big problem I see, is that it only will be possible when electronic sensory boards are available.
Personal Chess Manager disables all functions when in record mode and it is like an electronic scoresheet and nothing else. Talking about someone developing their own versions is a bit like Alice in wonderland, we are traveling to the fantasy world of our brains and imagination, one can imagine chess clocks that running faster for the opponent and lots of things...
In the sport world, there are one thing called: certified or approved materials by federations. All materials are tested acording to rules to be declared certified.

The problem is that personal pda or palmtop´s are not FIDE certified and are not tested to be aproved by FIDE and for this reason are not allowed to be used in tournaments because no one knows what is inside that machine, but of course can be used in cofee chess  The same happens to chess clocks. FIDE have a list of certified clocks and it is impossible to pretend to use an old historic clock of Capablanca in modern tournaments or my cucu clock of my dinning room 
In sports in general, there is one thing called certified materials that were tested according to rules of any sport. For example in tennis tournaments it is not possible to use any kind of racket. Materials have official measures and the same happens to chess pieces or boards.   





    
 

The reason you are half the rate is because you would take twice as long

When I say peace of cake i mean it is a standard compact framework implementation no low level implementation required. 




 

Sorry Willempie It would be a peace of cake.

Set your PDA to connect the internet via bluetooth to a phone held in your breast pocket or carried by a spectator most PDAs have bluetooth by default. 

Write an app that reads the moves from the standard app that you are feeding moves into by either reading the datafile or parsing the clicks 
by placing a transparent form over the main screen.
 
When the app detects a new move post it to a website that has another user or a program which respondes with the move.

The move is displayed on the transparent layer in coded form 
IE very small dots that appear on the side of the screen or something similar. 

If anyone wants one of these I am cheap at €1000/day

Who knows how your pda has been set up? Anyway, your opponent shdn't have to monitor your device to ensure you aren't cheating

As Keano points out, this would be open to cheating. The system tried at Hastings was simply able to record moves.
I found it too much of a hassle to use but it did allow people on the internet to follow games live (sensory boards do the same but are much more espensive and prone to the mishaps Keano mentioned)

TimS I was not referring to this Personal Manager gimmick but to the elctronic sensory boards Tony was referring to.

As for allowing a different recording system like this Personal Manage thing I think it is prone to cheating - somebody develops thir own version which just happens to pop up the best move as suggested by Fritz 

No - we cannot allow it
