I can certainly say that Gambit Tiger is very entertaining to play against (more
correctly, LOSE against).  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.
