I was looking for the game because the german magazine PalmTop Pro is doing a
review of Chess Tiger for Palm.
I have sent them a beta version of the new engine (which is closer and closer to
what Chess Tiger 15 will be). The new Chess Tiger solves this problem almost 3
times faster than Chess Tiger 14.6.
The new Chess Tiger for Palm solves it in 66s.
The journalist at PalmTop Pro asked me for the complete game, but actually I did
not have it.
