Yes. I think that older versions of Tiger are maybe not as good against humans
because older versions had a serious lack of knowledge about king attacks.
Now with Chess Tiger 13.0 and Gambit Tiger 1.0 it's totally different because
they KNOW much more about king attacks.
There are certainly other knowledge holes to fix in order to compete well
against strong humans, but I think this one was the worst. Now that it is better
in this area, I have better expectations for Tiger against humans.
