My tests for improving Chess Tiger include NO AUTOPLAYER GAMES.
So far the only autoplayers games by Tiger have been played only by testers and
the SSDF. Also, when I release a new version, Ed Schröder runs some autoplayer
matches as a sanity check for the new version.
I don't use these results to change my engine.
Tiger is not tuned against any commercial opponent.
