I think your anti-monopoly attitude would forbid that. I had a good
look at F6 and then F6a and it clearly plays better positional chess
than previous versions. Have you not seen that? Come on...

Understood but you did not deny or confirm my above point and that
using Gambit Tiger to fight the bad boys from ChessBase is hurting
the good work Christophe has done as the discussion is now in a state
it might backfire badly on Christophe.

Yes, becuase I know that this is not what you have in mind.

In playing style, yes.

Concerning strength I would like to stick to my pages:

  "The Gambit Tiger is estimated in the range of +/- 20 elo points
   in comparison with the Classic Tiger. Gambit Tiger is not claimed
   to be much stronger than the Classic Tiger as too less data is
   available at this moment.

   What is clear is that Gambit Tiger plays an aggressive type of
   Chess seldom seen by a chess program."
