Is there a delay, really?

What people are going to get for free very soon is a new RELEASE of the Chess
Tiger engine, not an update.

Usually you see one release per year. So the next release of Chess Tiger should
have been coming out in October.

So there is no delay. There is an anticipated release of a new product, 6 to 7
months BEFORE the deadline.

However if there is enough popular demand, I can publish an update for Chess
Tiger 13 right NOW, which will fix a few minor problems, and wait for October to
publish Chess Tiger 14.

What do you think, CCC people?
