The testing of Tiger is the work of one of our testers who have done testing for mr Theron. In the spare-time he have played a lot of games with Tiger on his old P90. He asked if we had permission to publish the results and mr Theron agreed without knowing the results. If we had been asked to test his program I am almost sure that we should have done it on the same level as the the top-programs. At least I have a very high opinion of ChessTiger. If he want us to test Tiger I guess we should test the new commercial version that shold be out very soon. Bertil SSDF
