Hi Gian-Carlo,

Wow, Gandalf got flogged!
I wonder why:

Gigantic hash tables for very quick time limit didn't suit Gandalf?
Gandalf is more knowledge based so GambitTigger looked a lot deeper because of
the quick time limit?
The extra Tablebases helped GT?
Sample size too small?

Did you notice any explaining factors or do you think this is a fair comparison
of strength?

Apriori I would have expected about 8-6-10 or thereabouts.

Regards
Tina
