Go up one level in this thread


Mr. Lyrette,

You are correct sir!  Gambit Tiger 0.95 Beta is a phenomenal performer and I
believe that it is stronger than the GT 1.0 Beta program.  Like you say, it
sometimes overreaches and pays the price.  For us class A and below non-masters
it provides an enormous amount of entertainment as we get slaughtered on the
chessboard.  A few of us Beta testers are trying to get Christophe to leave the
GT alone and let it play a wild,speculative game.  I truly think that Mr. Theron
will listen to us.  After all, if you want a more balanced game then there is
Chess Tiger 13.0.

There are weaknesses in every chess program.  Gambit Tiger has a few but it has
many more strengths to compensate.  Non master players will only notice the
weaknesses if they play with queen odds, ie taking a queen away from the Tiger
and maybe a knight too.

Nothing ventured--nothing gained!

Tim "Wild speculating man" Frohlick
