I guess that it is going to play also against itself when the ssdf test both
tigers.

I do not think that losing against the default tiger is not a peoblem.
It is a problem because it means that other programs also may win gambittiger if
they are similiar to the default tiger.

Christophe knows that gambittiger is not perfect and he explained that he is
going to improve it to in order to continue to play the good sacrifices and
avoid the bad sacrifices.
