I do not know about the performance against humans but I am sure that christophe is going to agree that tiger on the palm has no chance because of the hardware difference is too big. I believe that christophe is going to be happy if tiger for the palm can get 25% against pocket Fritz. I do not understand how people can believe that pocket Fritz is 1700. It is simply illogical because chessbase are not going to release something that is so weak. Uri
