Rebel-Tiger comes with the standard ChessPartner engine (LCHESS) and the Tiger
engine. Also included is a winboard adapter which allows you to run winboard
compatible engines.
Engine / Engine analysis not in this version but is expected in future versions.
It is also posible to analize games using any supported engine, single game at
a time.
