Chess Tiger is a "new" amateur program by Christophe Theron. It participated in Paris 1997 and was not very succesful. Since this time Christophe worked a lot on it, as he told me, night and day, and suddenly it developed into a real tiger. In paderborn 1998 it participated and would have been able to win the tournament. Only 1/2 point was needed in the last round. It showed brilliant games against Nimzo, Clever+smart, comet, Zugzwang, Conners ... But in the last round it had to fight against Gandalf, a program that can do wonders. Gandalf is always good to kill a leader. Indeed gandalf stopped tiger with a furious attack and so the strongest program, nimzo98(paderborn-version) won, followed by Clever+smart (2 kind of shredders coordinated by a special algorithm) . 1.Nimzo98 5 points 2.Clever+smart 5 points 3.ChessTiger 4.5 points 4.PConners 4.5 points 5.Gandalf 4.5 points 6.Zugzwang 4.5 points 7.comet 4.0 points 8.diep 4.0 points 9.ant 3.5 10.amy3 3.5 11.sos 3.0 12.xxxx2 3.0 13.0patzer 2.0 14.breakthrough 2.0 points 15.neurologic 1.5 points 16. diogenes 1.5 points Zugzwang run on 44 powerMACs. PConners = parallel controlled conspiracy number search. The programs NOT using special hardware were able to get a p2/266 with 64 MB. If you are interested we can post some nice games and comment on them. This german tournament is maybe not well-known and maybe some people here would like to know about some of the amazing games. There was a lot of fun. And I tried to stop Nimzo from winning the tournament without losing one game, because I operated ChessTiger. But chrilly was brilliant and nobody could stop him, like he has done in the netherland championships. We all had much fun...
