In the beta group we had long discussions about this topic. After many games
nobody had evidence one way or the other, but we thought that the difference
between Tiger 13 and Gambit 1 was probably less than 20 points. I don't know
either which one is stronger, but I like Gambit much better.

About 50 points, I guess.

Sure! :)  Depending on the settings, S5 scores between 30 and 60 points better
than S4. With default settings, +30.
