Actually you are probably 100% correct.  The 'last released' is generally the
best.  Not that it really means a whole lot...  be interesting to study some of
the games to see how much the book helped, how much tuning helped, etc...

The point of my comment is that until others can test against Tiger to see what
it is doing, it will probably stay at the top.  Once it is "out" everyone will
catch on pretty quickly...
