ah brilliant. than i see no reason why the others will not soon adapt
and overtake tiger. ok - we will see.
easy thing. just evaluation function. :-))) easy to tune...

you are free to have any different opinion, yes.

no - it isn't. thats true.
have you seen any other chess program playing on that level like gambit-tiger
in the moment with "having big positional scores" before ?

it looks to me that gambit-tiger has a few elo-points more than the others.

can you kill shredder 11.5 - 2.5 if you have only a few positional scores
higher than others ? that would show us that the programs we had before
were mistaken in having to low positional scores. i do remember very well
that e.g. shredder had very high positional scores. shredder and hiarcs.


i can do a battle between latest crafty and gambit-tiger with the
winboard-autoplayer-system, if you want.

it works pretty well so far.
then we can see how different the scores are... in general...
