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.
