>Why release 2 versions of Tiger ?


Because we are not sure which one is stronger, and because they are so different
in playing style.

I'm sure customers will appreciate to have the choice between a cold-minded,
solid program (Chess Tiger) and a ferocious attacker (Gambit Tiger).



>Is Gambit Tiger stronger against human ? or against computer ?


I don't know. The Gambit Tiger engine is too new to be sure.

My opinion is that the attacking abilities of Gambit Tiger will make it a very
tough opponent for human players.

It is unlikely that a game between Gambit Tiger and a human player is decided in
the endgame. It will be over much earlier. Look at the game against Mecking for
example.



>Will Chess Tiger extinct or "mutate" in the Gambit race ?


I hope I can mix the best of the two engines and offer a single engine with the
ability to set the "personality" to the taste of the user.

But at this time they are two different engines.



>Is Gambit-tiger more selective in the lines it analyse ?


Chess Tiger and Gambit Tiger have two different views of the chess game. They
don't play the same game actually.

That's why they are two different engines.



>Thank for this Tiger-Gambit little revolution ...


Thanks for your interest !
