Tiger's performance was impressive. Wins against CT are seldom easy. In some way
its games remind me of the way Richard Lang's programs meant trouble for other
machines. I mean it as a complement. By the way, I feel that most CCC members
are reasonable folks, but then again - sometimes I read criticism of computer
programs for playing too much "like computers". Myself, having accepted this
fact a priori, I tend to admire those that do it better that others. Congrats.
