I bought tiger13 for the tiger interface
I got an update to tiger14 but inspite of it I decided to buy tiger14 for
chessbase.

The reason is simple
I have other engines that I use like Deep Fritz and Junior and if I want to
change the engine that analyze from Deep Fritz to Tiger I find it inconvenient
to do it without the chessbase version of tiger.

I prefer to see all the engines on the same interface.
Most of the top engines use the chessbase interface and this is the reason that
I use chessbase interface.
