What is the correct interpretation of his Words? >>Mogens. that's an easy one: mr wegner sees (and says) that gambit tiger is playing great chess, but that at the same time it still has a lot of weaknesses. his comment is this: "For Gambit Tiger, on the other hand, it is quiet easy to do so, in fact we can cite some very elementary weaknesses. But in spite of that this program has an incredible playing strength. One is inevitably led to ask oneself how strong it would be if it had tablebases, a better learning function and a greater stability in simple positions." you could have said something similar about an 18-year old kasparov: "great attacking chess but some positional deficits remaining. what will he be able to do when he starts playing endgames and quiet positions well too?" we all know the answer to that one... cheers martin
