Thank you Stuart!
I had some problems running games live on the other server, but this time it
seems to work properly and there should be no problem following the games, you
can go here and click on the "live" button:

It is my definite opinion that GT2 Agressive is stronger than GT2 default, maby
the GT2 suicidal settings are even stronger (we need a lot of games) Aggressive
and suicidal seems to only be more risky in Blitz games whereas in long games
they seem to be more inclined to find sound sacrifices and king attacks.

One of the bugs is Fritz 7 is that it does not detect the Fritz 7 (no mmx) in
it's engine list, it can only be used outside the F7 GUI! the only bugs i have
detected are in the GUI though and as far as i know does not affect playing
strength.

I think that in long games F7 is as good as GT2 Agressive and if possible even
have a more interesting playingstyle! (only surpassed by my own personal
favorite Junior 7)

I don't think that GT2.0 benefits the most from faster hardware, since
christophe theron has stated numerous times that he tries to make the tigers
run equally well on all hardware (which seems to work like a charm).

I too am looking forward to Tiger 15.0, but i have no idea if it will reign
supreme or if it will have dual support (which i hope it will)

Regards
Jonas
