I don't wan to start a fight with another lurking alias of CW involved, but I
*must* say that the development of Gambit Tiger and the success it has with
players is a firm compliment to CW with his "experimental" program CSTal, which
is fun to play, not produced to "compete with top programs".

I must say that looking at a game between CSTal and GT (a I have a few against
GT 1.0) is really fun, but maybe sometimes we all here are a bit too preoccupied
with the comp-comp and engine-engine matches, and too less with playing chess as
a human against the fun programs both CSTal and GT are.
