There's definitely something wrong here.
I could not reproduce moves 8, 9, 16, 18 (switches away from Bd5 in less than a
second), 22 and 24 with my Tiger 14 (did not try beyond that as the game is
already decided with 24...c5??).
It's also striking that many Tiger moves are given with depth 3, although it
takes Tiger typically less than 1 second to reach depth 8 on a PIII-550.
Depth 3 you usually see only if there's only one legal move. Even at 1/game,
Tiger should not play this fast.
