Believe what you want. Then go do a search for "goldmund" on ICC. You will
find the games. Schliefer is the tiger name you are looking for. Report back
after you are convinced. Goldmund plays 5 3 and does well. The 3 0 games
were on chess.net or fics, I don't remember which. I didn't think it newsworthy
enough to take notes. There are so many tiger clones running on the servers it
is hard to keep up with them. They are very strong. They are _not_
invincible. I watched Goldmund win two 5 3 games vs tiger yesterday I think
(two in a row before I left).
You have a very inflated idea of what programs can do vs GM players. You catch
a GM in the right mood and he will tear heck out of most any program for a
short series of games...
