Hello, I'm also a very satisfied customer with Rebel-Tiger. It plays very active and is always looking for a weakness to attack/exploit. The endgame is better than most without tablebases but I believe when the tiger gets tablebases it will be awesome in the endings. The GUI still needs some work but as I understand it, Lex is constantly working on it. Overall it's a very good program that promises to get better. My test at fast time controls (G/3 - G/30) indicate it is between Fritz 5.32 and Fritz 6a in strength. Jim Walker
