That's the point.  You have somehow "bonded" with gambit tiger.  And taken it
to be a part of yourself, or yourself to be a part of it.  Nothing wrong with
having a favorite program.  But don't try to cast it in a god-like (new
paradigm) light.  Or else have a long discussion with Christophe, perhaps he
will tell you _exactly_ what he changed in the eval, what he added to it, so
that you can make an informed judgement about the program, rather than wild
speculation about what you "want" the changes to be.
