In this game, Chess Tiger blundered away a knight in the opening with the terrible 7...h6?? and then came back to crush ChessGenius using a powerful pawn push. I think this game shows the importance of the opening book, especially in a weaker chess engine (7...Qe7 is the book continuation). The game also showed ChessGenius' weakness in evaluating advanced and passed pawns. Interestingly, Genius likes 7...Qe7 after around three seconds of evaluation while Tiger after six minutes in analysis mode preferred 7...Be7 (after giving 7...Qh4 a long look). Tiger never gave 7...Qe7 serious consideration. Christophe, I noticed in analysis mode that if Tiger had given itself several seconds to look at 7...h6, it wouldn't have played it. Can anything be done to the program to reduce the likelihood of such blunders? Thanks. TRGpro overclocked to 28 MHz. No PB.
