Subject: Tiger or Pussycat: Tiger 14 - Shredder 5.32, info about Shredder-book

Another Tiger-Shredder-match is completed, and Tiger stays unbeaten against
Shredder. The result is 6-4, but honestly one can say that it has been an equal
match, only the last two games made the decision for Tiger from 4-4 to 6-4. I
missed Shredder's endgame capabilities in those games. While Tiger showed clear
advantage for several moves, Shredder needed some more moves to correct the 0.00
evaluation which do not seem to have been correct. Surprising, I expected
something better from Shredder, but it strengthens my point of view that Tiger
dominates the endgame and even the highly reputated endgame specialist Shredder
has to accept that.

Next round will be Tiger vs. Century 3, assuming I will get the autoplayer to
work properly, under Win98 it didn't, so if I ever get it to work on the other
machine under Win95b, Tiger will run on the K7-500.

Latest findings show that the Shredder 5.32 - book (with some holes e.g. the
sicilian morra is out of book for black after 1.e4 c5 2.d4 cxd4 3.c3) is exactly
the same as the ChessBase-Tiger-book. Source is a posting in the ChessBits
Forum. Well, I don't want to comment on that...
