What do you say to Keith Ian Price, who repeated has posted like the following: "I was following the game with Chess Tiger 14.0 running on a P4 2.2Ghz, just as GT was to have been. CT 14.0 agreed with every move that was played by GT. After about 1 minute GT switches to g4, but CT does not even after 3 minutes. I believe they were playing Chess Tiger not Gambit Tiger."
