GambitTiger is already stronger on my system then Deep Fritz at slow time
controls. It will be interesting to see if GambitTiger takes the top spot on the
SSDF list with faster hardware.

Remember this is only my speculation at this point, this is what I seem to be
seeing, that GambitTiger gains more from longer time controls.

I was not a big fan of GambitTiger, because it would lose ugly sometimes even
against programs it should beat. This problem vanishes when GambitTiger has more
think time on my system. At long time controls, Gambit's attack if it fails,
Gambit is not positionally busted to the point of losing the endgame. So I see
more wins and draws, instead of just wins and losses.

It may be more accurate to say at long time controls, GambitTiger attackes when
it has more justification.
