I know the reason in detail, I was just trying to steer something, but after all
there might be a little true about trying to keep the status of Chess Tiger as
bein closed to 2800. To me it was simply a miracle that could only be
accomplished by playing players who never heard of Chess Tiger before, but if
you match the same players against Chess Tiger 14.0 right now, everybody will
see a complete turnaround or at least players rated between 2400 to 2500 from
the same group drawing and even beating CT 14.0.
