Hello Fernando,
You don't need Gambit Tiger II to kill CSTal-2.  Even Fritz 5 will do the job.
CSTal needs a 10 Ghz computer and about 2 hours/move to compete with the top
programs.  Actually CSTal could never play very good blitz.  It plays fairly
well at 40/2hrs but not as good as Tiger and it does need a fast cpu.
