Go up one level in this thread


I like Tiger and use it to "blundercheck" my correspondence games.
Perhaps any program could do such a simple purpose well, but I feel very
comfortable with Tiger.
The one flaw I've noticed is a lack of consideration in endgames as to the
drawing tendencies of bishops of opposite colors.  Another consideration is that
with more pieces left, those drawing tendencies are also less.
I believe if a program could somehow evaluate that more clearly, it would play
much stonger in endgames.
I have no ideas how hard such a concept might be to program.
Good luck with Tiger 15 - I think you have a great product.
