It is not commercailly available. Why would the author, Christophe Theron lie
about that?

"Hi Robert.
I am terribly sorry, but the commercial Tiger is not ready yet.
It is ALMOST ready, but unfortunately you cannot buy it at this time. I'm
working actively on it.
The engine will be Tiger 12.0, a clear improvement over version 11.9 which was
the Paderborn World Championship version. Tiger 11.9 was itself a clear
improvement over Tiger 11.8 (the version tested by the SSDF).
The 12.0 engine itself is ready. What needs to be finished is the interface
between the engine and the new graphical interface.
Be patient. The Rebel Tiger is coming out VERY SOON!

Your derogatory attack "calling them meatballs" shows that you have no real
evidence and must therefore resort to "ad-hominem" attack. I would think that
someone with advanced debating skills would no better. Also, that you would
check *your* facts before making accusations.

Well, let's just say I don't think that you are thinking clearly. I think you
see something sensational and then jump on the bandwagon without really
gathering the facts or really considering them carefully.

Go right ahead.
