Because the programmer claims it has autoplayer problems.

Because I enter Gambit Tiger. Christophe himself doesn't know which one is
stronger, Gambit or Tiger 13, and neither do I. But I am more interested in
watching Gambit in action, probably for the same reasons Christophe had to enter
Gambit instead of Tiger in the Dutch open. And finally I didn't want to enter
two engines from the same programmer, for instance Deep Fritz and Fritz 6b.

The patch is not available yet and I understand that time controls don't work as
they should.

I'm leaving town right now and I won't be back until Friday.
