July 2001 Chess Tiger 14, the miracle of Argentina
Chess Tiger 14 participated in the strong Republica Argentina and won the 11
round tournament convincingly with 9½ points out of 11 (8W 3D 0L) and gained the
highest elo rating ever produced by a chess program facing strong human chess
players.
Chess Tiger 14 running on a average personal computer 866 Mhz, 256 Mb RAM beat
all 4 grandmasters, reached the first place two points ahead of the best human
and gained an unbelievable elo performance of 2788 !! earning 2 GM norms.
