I am not against gambittiger but I believe that it is the right way to look at
gambit's evaluations.
Christophe explained that he did not finish to tune gambit's evaluation and I
believe that he is going to have better evaluation in the future.

I guess that in this case slower time control can also help tiger to avoid
49.Rb7 because the score dropped one move after it.

I see from the fact that tiger used 5-10 minutes per move that tournament time
control is not slow ennough.
