That is not entirely true. Correct, I am satisfied with the opening preparation
and Tiger's 'worst' evaluation out of book was +0,20. Still, you need a very
strong program to convert small advantages into a win. And Gambit Tiger played
VERY well in Leiden. I was there as the operator of Tiger and I was amazed by
its strength. Really impressive! I think Tiger won because it played the best
chess in the Dutch Open. Not because it had a good book....

Tao was badly trapped, yes. But all other games were hard fought. I got the
prepared variation on the board, but this by far no garantuee for a win. You
still need to play a whole game and win it in the end.
