If it is possible for you to get all the games, then of course it would be
wonderful to see! If he doesn't want it than there is no problem of course. It's
really more interesting to see strong programs against strong humans than to see
computer-computer matches, which are usually quite boring in most cases.

As for your choice of engine I have to say that chesstiger 14.0 would be better
suited to humans. Gambit can quite often go off track as I have seen in some
games, and tiger is better all-around IMO. But of course, the choice is up to
you, they're all strong enough to give him a challenge for sure :)
