Yes. We had to do that as the DLL interface has changed and so we could not use
the graphical interface without first adapting it.
The result is that we have used a version of Tiger that is slightly slower as
the one that runs under the Windows interface. I'm using an old DOS GCC (2.7.2),
and it produces slightly slower code than Visual C and the new GCC, which is now
optimized for Pentium-class processors.
I have focused so much in improving the engine that I did not even took the time
to install the new GCC compiler! :)
In practice the difference in speed does not matter much in such a tournament.
It must be only 5-10% slower.
