Hi Enrique,

I too have a copy of Chess Tiger 12 due to Cristophe's kindness.  Unfortunately,
due to innumberable good reasons, I simply haven't had much time to pit it
against other programs, but have played several G/10 games.  My impressions are
very favourable.  Tiger reminds me of Ferret (which I have seen lots of times on
ICC) and Shredder (again the ICC console that I've seen in action).  What
happens with Tiger is that you get squeezed into a ball slowly and imperceptibly
and then find yourself slightly worse off in the endgame.  That's when the
torment starts.  It simply won't let go.  The same or similar thing happens with
the other two afore-mentioned progs.  And that is exactly what we, humans, call
mastership.  About your comp-comp prediction, I am not quite sure.  Just told
you about Shredder which is going to be a gigantic opponent, and, do not forget
Fritz 6 that has really gained some worthwhile knowledge.  But, these are only
my impressions based on a handful of games;  I appreciate yours more as they are
based on many games.

Regards,

Djordje
