It is a very fun engine to play against, and with the Gambit settings, I never know what it will pull out of its bag of tricks. Second, I was wondering when there might be a Chess Tiger 16? It sounds like you are hard at work in your laboratory, so I'm sure you are cooking something up. Third, a request. On the next release, could you please include a "Gambit Tiger" engine to go along with Chess Tiger 16? This way I can have them go head to head and see how they perform in a variety of tests - wide open openings, closed openings, "safe" openings, etc. Fourth, please don't take any of the blatantly negative comments to heart. I know it is hard to do so when someone criticizes one's work, but unless anyone provides back-up data that supports their assertion, it is healthier to blow it off. Again, thanks for Chess Tiger. I also own the Palm Pilot version, and it has saved me from boredom in airports, doctor's offices, etc.
