Ask the people using Tiger 12.0 on >the servers. Ask them what results they get against Tiger 12.92. :) yes it is much stronger than the previous version, but how much? is the question. I dont have the first version of the tiger either, so cant tell if it produces the same moves or better moves :). one of the operator thinks CTII is not good at "open king side attack", but he wasnt clear about what he means by it , I wanted to ask him but before I could he loged out. the last time I checked he changed his notes :) his account it cchess(c) but the main part is that people who were before running CT 12.0 and now running CT II 12.92 has significant increase in their rating in ICS. > > >>Its fun to play against it in chess servers, >> >>so we will see it at the end of this year? > > > >What's your guess? :) still has time, if you (ed) wanna release at the end of this year. enough time to improve or work on bug fixes (if found, by the beta team)? 2 months should be a reasonable amount of time to get done with the beta-test. so i assume its gonna be out at the mid DEC. :) Pavel > > > > Christophe
