I know that you don't care about this issue at all, but if Chess Tiger was the
program competing vs Kramnik you would had not responded so arrogant. Yes I know
that all the parties are winner in this case. But the biggest winner from my
ppoint of view is Chessbase. They have accomplished a draw so far against the
second strongest human player of all times, provided that Kramnik had the
original program on his posession before the match. Remember how good Chess
Tiger score agaisnt the Argentinian team the first time, when they never heard
of Chess Tiger before the match, and how Chess Tiger scored the 2nd time that it
faced the Argentinian team. It is all a matter of exploiting the weakness of X
program before the match.
