Hi all, I have started a tourney to find out the strongest Tiger. Chess Tiger 14, GambitTiger 2, GambitTiger 2 aggressive and GambitTiger 2 aggressive plus SelSafety=8 will play against WChess 2000, Zarkov 5, Shredder 4, Shredder 5, MChessPro 8, Hiarcs 7.32, Nimzo 8, Junior 6a (maybe. Junior 7), Fritz 6 (Version May 2001), Rebel Century 3 and Chessmaster 8000. The Chessmaster matches will only be played if I get Chessmaster to play autoplayer series. If I don't there won't be an alternative opponent. Same with Rebel Century 3, if I see trouble referring to the autoplayer, the match will be canceled. But let's hope for the best. BTW any advice concerning Chessmaster 8000 and autoplayer-series is welcome. The matches have the following setup: 40 moves in 120 minutes plus 60 minutes for the rest of the game. The games will be played on two computers. The Tigers get an Athlon-600 with 192MB RAM which means 96MB hash. The opponents get an equal computer but with 500MHz (same mainboard, same RAM). Chessmaster will run with 64MB hash which is said to be sufficient, Rebel Century will get 100MB hash, MChessPro cannot handle more than 61MB hash, all the other programs will have 120-128MB hash. Each program plays with the own book and default settings. The matches go over 10 rounds=games. So each Tiger will play a maximum of 100 games and all in all 400 TOURNAMENT games will be played (!). (What am I doing, am I crazy? That takes three months. :-)) Six matches have been finished so far, results and games (zipped PGN) are available on www.geocities.com/Harald1312/HaraldFaber.html (text in German only). Site will be updated after each completed match and when completely finished I will provide all games in one database. Enjoy! (I do!) :-) Harald Faber PS for Jeroen Noomen: You should contact me, there's at least one line for black which Tiger frequently loses although coming out of book with a piece up but a dubious position.
