IMHO I think Tiger could win this tournament if it was running on equal
hardware.
It is a wonderful program. I've played against it many times since I received my
Rebel 11 CD. I only think that there's a great gap between Chess Tiger, the
engine, and Chess Partner, the interface, which has to improve _a _lot (better
3D graphics, eng-eng support, maybe tournament support as ChessBase, autoflag
inside the interface (as Winboard), better sounds (ugh! don't like them too -
someone posted here the same)). What I see is that the Chess Partner interface
is getting better quickly, so I don't mind waiting the next versions... (I
remember the first time I got ChessBase 4, did not like to work with it too...)
I also think that Tiger will top the SSDF list(or at least #2, my only doubt is
about Shredder 5).
