Chess tiger was tested against old programs including shredder2,fritz3 and MCP6
so I do not think that other commercials could earn much rating from discovering
holes in CT.

I guess it was number one in the list even if top programs could play against it
one year ago.

I think at least half of the players tiger played against are more than one year
old(I think that tiger did better results against them than other top programs)
and I also do not think that programmers would waste a lot of time in preparing
against tiger when they have enough problems in games against other opponents.

Tiger lost only against number 2 program Fritz532(K6450)
and if it wanted to be number one by  auto232 marathons the most logical
marathon is going to be a marathon against Fritz532 so I believe that tiger did
not do maratons against other programs.
