Tiger has been #1 on the SSDF's lists, so the learning problem wasn't really so
apparent for the other programs to figure out.

As far as the anti-borg systems that were used on ICC it was very simple to
write a small add.bk book with a couple of lines and have this as well as ct.tbk
open.

However this subject is far from the original topic which was "Are there any
chess tiger 14 updates".

So then if you were "one of the first" then I was first....wow I'm my own hero
;-)

Not sure why you paid $100 but that's your problem. Even so $100 for Tiger which
included Century and Gambit and followed up with a free upgrade I'd say you got
your money's worth. I'd also bet the number of satisfied Tiger customers
outweigh others.

Rather sadly everyone is entitled to their own opinion, it's like having a vote.
It's well known that some people vote without knowing what their voting about or
for. Seems the same to me.
