Hello here an attacking position for tiger: [D]2rr2k1/pp3pp1/4b3/2qNp1b1/4P3/1B1Q4/PPP5/1K3R1R w - - Qf3!! Diepeveen - H.H. Hagen, corr. game Qf3 is a simple tactical win at the king side. Diep has no probs with it and after a few hours score goes even up to nearly 2 pawns for Qf3, thereby being pawns better as other moves. Qg3 is a draw, so is Qe2. You win a pawn with both Qg3 and Qe2 at g7, but you keep left with opposite bishops and blacks king safety is ok with king on e7. Qf3 is a simple tactical blow for example game went like: Qf3 Rc6 Qh5 Bh6 Qxe5 Bxd5 Bxd5!! Qxc2+ Ka1 Rc7 a3! b5 Rxh6 and my opponent resigned a move later (note there are several different wins after gxh6) I think next programs for sure have no problems finding Qf3: Diep, The King, LambChop, ZarkovX, Crafty Not sure about other programs. with search depths above 10 ply nowadays it should be peanut On October 07, 2000 at 10:19:28, Christophe Theron wrote: >On October 07, 2000 at 10:01:55, Vincent Lejeune wrote: > >>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.
