Tiger14 is tested with the chessbase book in the ssdf games.

People have a reason to assume that the chessbase book is not inferior relative
to the original book.
The name Tiger.ctg and not general.ctg also suggests that the book is optimized
for tiger.

I guess that these assumptions are wrong but Rebel Company did not do a good job
in convincing the public about it.

They could do a better job by insisting that:

1)only the original book will be used by the ssdf.
2)The name of the chessbase book is going to be general.ctg and not tiger.ctg
