Frank, you also must remember, or maybe you don't know, is that Gandalf requires
large hardware, and large hashtables to be strong. There is a large difference
is strength when reducing the hash and hardware.

If your tournament were to be played on a PIII 300-450, Gandalf would be no
where near the top. Gandalf on the lower hardware would be rated below the top 7
programs.

The 733 system, I believe is benefiting Gandalf more than the others.

Where if Rebel Tiger were to be in your tournament, you could put the other
programs on the 733, and put Tiger on a 500 machine, and Tiger would still win
close to all it's games.

It is only my two cents, but I have both programs, as I was a beta tester for
both, and know the results that I have attained.
