Dear Stuart,

As a Beta tester for the Rebel 11 programs, I can say that Gambit Tiger by
itself is worth $200.00 but I am glad that Ed and his associates have kept the
price down.  I recommended that they charge a little bit more than the low price
for all four programs.  I think that Ed knows more about marketing chess
programs than I do.

This is an awesome chess program package.  There is nothing like it on the
market.  Unfortunately, Ed Schroder is spoiling us rotten.  Christophe tells me
that he has only been able to put a small fraction of the total endgame
knowledge possible into his Tiger programs so far.  There is room for
improvement and it will come in the next upgrades.

As our processors get faster and eat less power we will soon be able to play
Gambit Tiger on a device the size of a wallet at 1 Gigahertz with 128 Megs of
RAM.  I will take my GT Mobile Computer with me everywhere.  Sooner than you
think , my friend.
