Hi all: I will not give the name, but there is a very known amateur program that probably is in the HD of all of us. It is nice and it is free. It has a pretty GUI - to my taste, at least- and so I will not give its name because it would be unpolite considering the mauling it got from palm Tiger -not even the very last version of it- in a 30 minutes games. I consider the game instructive of the power of this microscopic beast that scarcely computes between 150 and 250 moves per second. The big guy, the amateur program, computes around 40 thousands in my AMD 500 (Yes, I like to preserve old machines until they fall in pieces). Take a look, please, at the unpitoyable way Tiger push his b-pawn with one tactical manouver after another. Yes, the amateur program did not play very well, but....
