Hello Ed, Exiting project You and Chistophe have going with The Tiger. In this relation just one question, quoting Your homepage: "One of CHESS-TIGER's search algorithms has been implemented in REBEL and is further improved by Ed Schröder. The CHESS-TIGER idea plus Ed's own improvements have speed up REBEL with a factor of 2-3. The first results are very promising. At the playing level of 1:00 per move REBEL scores 47½-31½ against various strong computer opponents. For the moment the conclusion is Christophe's idea has given REBEL an elo jump of at least 30 elo points but more likely the gain in playing strength is 50 elo points or even more. The basic idea is im-plemented in the third party engines of:" The question: The large jump in speed is this on behalf of something else (knowledge, whatever) or is it just a "simple trick"/algoritme/?, You and perhaps others have overseen? If so, it's a rather amusing and a nice perspective in respect to the promising future of search. Regards, kim
