Maybe it's a kind of... tribute to Gambit Tiger??? ;) You can probably expect even boring old Chessmaster to come up with some type of engine or personality that plays like Gambit Tiger. I mean, it's kind of a sensation. If I were a stockholder in Millennium, I'd be calling them up on the phone asking them how was their work going in coming up with an engine that plays like Gambit Tiger. (I really thought all the talk about Gambit Tiger was a bunch of hype you all had orchestrated until I got my copy and played a few games.) Surely we'll see chessbase coming out with something too. As far as the name they put on it--yeah, it sounds to me like it is something of a tribute. RC
