Maybe it's a kind of... tribute to Gambit Tiger??? ;) The term gambit is inherent to the game of chess, so using it doesn't imply anything in particular. And since you probably don't have the program, I doubt you have any idea about it's playing style. And therefore no knowledge of any similarities or differences between your program and Gambit Shredder, except for the word Gambit. A petty reason for an argument IMHO. Mogens.
