That's right, you have been the very first tester to tell me that Tiger was able
to compete against top programs. This was before the Feb. 98 Paderborn
tournament.
I was surprised and I did not believe you. You played about 40 tournament games
BY HAND (Tiger had no Auto232 driver in these days).
Just after that, Tiger took the 3rd place in Paderborn.
I have put the "prize" in my office. I can see it everyday, and I remember what
you told me...
