When I don't feel very good, I try to play myself against Chess Tiger.
In a few moves I get totally crushed/washed/bombed away, and I suddenly
feel better (wow, what a fine program I wrote!). :)

When CT looses a game against Genius, I change the opponent and take
GnuChess. Generally I feel better at the end of the game. :)

That's why I have to take a very strong coffee every day in the morning.
Without this drug, there would be no Chess Tiger, but only "Chess
Kitten". :)

And I would spend my days on the beach under a coconut tree. Instead, I
drink coffee, play a game against a strong program, get very angry
because my little Tiger looses, and then work like crazy to fix the
problem.

They will pay for this crime, next time! :)

Please don't. I think tea is enough. :)
