Subject: Question re: Tiger programs

Author: eric guttenberg

I don't know what the "draw score" option is under advanced engine options
in the Tiger programs of Rebel 11.0. Because I don't have a clue as to what
it means, I was just going to leave it at zero and ignore it.

But then I came across something real confusing. I found that when I set up
the famous critical position in Morphy's queen-sacrifice win against
Paulsen that with "draw score" set at 500 (whatever the heck THAT means)
Gambit-Tiger finds the winning ...Qd3xBf3 in 20 seconds. With "draw score"
set at 0, Gambit-Tiger simply does not find the move at any playing level.

So, does anyone know what "draw score" means and how it (apparently)
affects the programs playing strength?
