At one point I managed to have it working, that's all. I guess that the same is also for Junior. I started to see sacrifices in Junior's game even before GambitTiger became commercial. I am talking about the version that played in WCCC and not about the commercial version. In WCCC it was an experimental version that probably was not better than the commercial version(it made in this tournament also mistakes that the commercial version did not do). I remember that it continued to do also wrong sacrifices in games against humans in club kasparov. I guess that Amir had to test it a lot before the change became to be productive. Uri
