Based on games and results that I posted here about a year ago. The results of
T11.75 were simply amazing, even running on a machine considerably slower than
the opponent's. I couldn't get this kind of results with T1 for Windows. Why, I
don't know. Maybe in the process of transporting it to Windows it lost
something, but what do I know.

>How many games did you do with both programs to get this consequence?

I don't remember the exact number, but it must have been near 100 for T11.75 and
many more for T12 for Windows.

>Did you find mistakes of tiger for Dos that tiger12E does not do?

I didn't check.
