The idea that any piece of chess software would be more interesting to watch than the two strongest (IMO) chessplayers on this planet is ludicrous. Especially if you find chess even remotely interesting. >But to most of us, it's probably also too high priced. What did it beat Fritz >by? Half a point? That half a point isn't worth double the cost to me. And as >I understand it, the interface isn't near as good as Fritz. Yes, the product seem overpriced. >From what people are saying about Tiger Gambit, I'll have that long before I >have Shredder--not that I'd mind having Shredder, but I care to throw only so >much cash on this chess software. I would have to know more about the RT GUI before making such a decision. Is it as flexible as CB? Is it possible to arrange tournaments with Gambit Tiger, RTII and WinBoard programs? How easy is it to create and maintain databases in a sensible way? Can you create and fiddle with the opening books? That's the important questions to me. It doesn't matter if the engine is the strongest availanle unless you're obsessed with showing off at ICC. So betatester games are rather insignificant IMO. Mogens.
