What reference does Tiger have in comparison with Deep Fritz and Shredder?
Shredder is the current world champion, Deep Fritz leads the SSDF. Unless
Tiger14 or GambitTiger2 will top the SSDF, the decision will certainly be made
between the 2 mentioned programs.
Don't get me wrong, I'd also like to see one of the Tigers play, but for
officials there will be no justification.
