GT 2.0 easy to hold even with antihuman-agressive settings
As more or less promised, I would come back on my opinion about level of play of
gambit tiger 2(GT2) against me as not all to strong human player.
I have a rating of 1868 Elo and I play often blitz games against various progs.
As earlier stated here in CCC, I noticed that I have much less problems against
Gambit Tiger than against other progs such as Fritz, Rebel Century or even
Crafty.
The author recommended me than to play it in antihuman, agressive style
settings. Thus so I did.
And here are my results so far.
Of course I still loose 9 out of 10, but still I must say that GT2 is much more
easy to draw or even beat than the herefore named other progs.
And though antihuman-agressive playing style is more entertaining than normal
setting it is not more difficult for me to play against.
In my last game i noticed very strange anti positional moves as for example
move 13 b3? in the game below.
I included some longer thinking analysis of GT2, so that you can see that only
after 6;51 GT2 changes to a little bit better move 13 Bb1. Fritz6 even not in
his best 10 best mode, would play this move.

And for IMO obvious reasons because, white volontarily closes in his bishop with
13. b3.
