However, I encourage you to also examine the personality definition aspects of Rebel Century 3.0. In particular, look closely at increasing King Safety (this improves Century's ability to smell blood when the enemy king is not as safe as it should be), Attractiveness, and Attacking. If you want an example of how vicious this can be, look elsewhere on this board for a game between STORM (a personality of Century 3.0) and Junior 6a. STORM, while perhaps 75-100 ELO weaker (in my estimation) than default Century, will light up the board with aggressive pawn moves, pawn sacs, exchange sacs, and piece sacs. It is usually very determined to create chaos on the board, specifically around your king. Gambit Tiger is a more balanced attacker (but still brutal as it hacks its way toward your king) and its strength is very close to normal Tiger's. If you are not an IM or GM, either one (STORM or Gambit Tiger) should slice you up into little bits in under 40 moves almost every single game. Well, perhaps a FM would last longer also, but us normal, non-titled players have very little chance against either one. Since you get Gambit Tiger and Century 3.0 on the same CD, you are not risking any money to get Gambit Tiger and get Century 3.0 for free. Roy
