There are public games from the ssdf games so you can look at them and see. christophe knows that tiger is not close to be perfect and he has a lot to fix so I do not think that knowing the problems of tiger it is going to help other programs to be number 1 because it takes time to fix your program and the next version of tiger is going to be better than them.
