There is a special "antihuman" mode in Rebel-Tiger that is used by -apparently-
nobody. It does better than the standard "personality" against humans because it
knows how to handle "closed positions" better, if you know what I mean.
This special mode will be further improved in the next release of the engine.
This mode does not work as well against computers because sometimes the program
takes too much risk in order to avoid a closed position, and the strategy can
backfire in this case. So people do not use antihuman mode on chess servers,
because you find too many computers there.
Unfortunately there as been so far too few games against strong rated humans to
give any measure of Tiger's strength against GMs.
