I do not know exactly. I have added a few hundreds moves in order to fix holes
that have been discovered when playing against computers of comparable strength.

How I can improve the engine is my secret. :)
I have included in this version of Chess Tiger for Palm the latest
developpements of what is soon going to be Chess Tiger 15. Actually it's the
same source code, so I cannot leave the Palm version behind!
Improvements in PC programs are not obvious because the programs are anyway so
much stronger than us.
It's different in the field of small computers like the Palm. They have a
strength comparable to ours, so we are much more likely to notice even a modest
improvement.
