Don't make a fool of yourself by posting such nonsense.
The speed difference between the winner on Athlon 1000MHz and Gambit Tiger on
Athlon 500 accounts for a 70 elo points handicap for Tiger.
Uri also points out the fact that Gambit Tiger did not play with his own book,
which is even worse.
You should have a good look at Gambit Tiger's performance with such a handicap,
and you will see that it is actually a very good performance.
Instead of focusing on the fact that Gambit Tiger did less points than the 3
programs at the top, which had ALL superior hardware (by AT LEAST a factor of
2), you should have a look at all the programs with superior hardware which did
WORSE than Gambit Tiger. There are 7 of them, count them.

You need some more knowledge about computer chess I think.
Do the experiment yourself: take the same program, and let it run on a 1000MHz
computer and let the other copy of itself run on a 500MHz computer. Let them
play against each other.
What result do you expect?

The Tiger family is not optimized for a given time control. They perform equally
well at all time controls, blitz or tournament time controls.
