Dear Christophe,

My comparison between Wchess and Tiger has been evidently unfortunate, and my
intention has not been to offend him.  I don't question their effort and work
in the development of their program, I only wanted to stand out that the work
of the programmers he seems to go more to the competition front other
programs that to the development front the human players.

Sorry,

Affectionately,

Victor Fernandez
