No, the style is and can be attacking in GambitTiger 2, But GT2 can be downright
stupid when playing strong humans. I don't see this in ChessTiger 14, That is
why I have always felt that ChessTiger 14 is the better program. Regardless of
the SSDF rating.

I have seen to many games, even against weaker players where GT2 loses the
thread of the game. It just can not handle as many positions as well as
ChessTiger 14. IMO
