what did you do to your tiger?
Are you sure that you use the default parameters?
I do not understand why it cannot go deep

Here is tiger14 under the chessbase interface
Maybe it is a problem of hash tables(I used 48 Mbytes hash) but I cannot believe
that hash tables have this big effect)
New game - Deep Fritz

You can see that my tiger goes deeper in less nodes.
