The point I was trying to make is that the hash table problem (the one you mention in response to Pete Galati) seems pretty basic. I would have thought that that would be easy to work out. Anyway, what I forgot to put in my first message is that I've noticed once or twice my program beating Tiger clones at ICC on time. I sent a message to a Tiger operator about it but didn't get a response. I think these were bullet matches. One thing you might want to look at is whether it's running timestamp or the FICS equivalent, timeseal. Not running timestamp/timeseal might cause it to lose on time in games without increments.
