Subject: Tiger or Pussycat: GambitTiger 2 - Junior 7

Junior 7 did much better vs. GambitTiger than vs. ChessTiger and often had him
balancing on the edge. But it is Tigers resistance capability
that let him escape several times and save the half-points. All in all it was an
open, equal match with an open exchange of blows. But none
of them really played convincingly. Assuming that GambitTiger has come back
after the desaster vs. Shredder 5.32, I still miss sovereign play
. ChessTiger does much better and plays constant. That and the match results vs.
Junior 7 and the other opponents both have played in the
meantime are the reasons why in my humble opinion ChessTiger is the stronger
engine. But wait for the resting match results, maybe
GambitTiger can suprise me?! The 5.5-4.5 vs. Junior 7 is no real win, it was an
equal match which should have ended 5.0-5.0 although an
5.5-4.5 is still an even result. There are some exciting games with the more
riskful play by Junior 7 whose playing style is much more
entertaining than its predecessor's but I got the impression that Junior 7 lacks
a killer-instinct to finish the impressive games with the
according result, a win. At the moment I am twisted, on the one hand Junior play
phantastic games, on the other hand it is often not enough
to win the game. Maybe vs other opponents than the Tigers?

Next match will be vs. Nimzo 8. Let's see how this match goes, both programs
haven't convinced so far. I expect a result in the range of
6.0-4.0 up to 7.0-3.0 in favour of GambitTiger. Comparison: ChessTiger won by
6.0-4.0.
