That's completely wrong.

You are using the program in demo mode, where it blunders on purpose to draw
conclusions about its strength after 3 games. Great!

Chess Tiger for Palm played here in Guadeloupe in a human tournament and got a
rating well above 2000.

I have several games played against a 2100 elo human player, and Tiger won the
match.
