Subject: Rebel 10 vs. Chess Tiger (2 games)

Author: Kai Lübke

Date: 01:59:06 10/19/98



When interviewed by Fernando Villegas, Christophe Theron, author of Chess Tiger,
said about his program:
   ,,...anyway almost nobody can defeat Tiger in the middle game''

This quotation is, according to the many games I played with CT 11.4 and 11.5,
certainly not an exaggeration.

It seems, however, that we've finally found a candidate who can stomp Tiger
already in the early middle game. Take a look at these two matches against Rebel
10.0 EOC (i.e. EOC-use was set to "strong").
Rebel already had a decisive advantage after some 20-24 moves.

As a side note: I know at least one person who will joyfully shout "Rebel is a
GM" now. ;-))))))))

For more R10 games, check the Single Matches section at http://come.to/SCCS.
These include two draws at 30/game both against Crafty (good job, Bob!) and
Junior 5 and one draw against MChess 8 at 60/game.

[Hardware: 2x PII-400, 128 MB, HT size was 32 MB for both as Tiger does not
support more than that.]
