Well, I just came back from work and after kissing my wife and kids directed my
quick steps to the computer room where Tiger 12e (P3-667) plays a match against
Deep Junior 6a (dual Celeron 563). And what do I find? Junior resigned the game
(score was -15 and change) and saved its game (_automatically_) to the database.
Tiger and the whole Win98 machine froze and I had to reboot it. Needless to say
I don't have a record of this game from Tiger's perspective and it's a pity as
these are often instructive.

regards,
PK

ps. Tiger is impressive and is leading this (young) match by a score of 3:2.
