None of the programs you mention are as strong as Tiger which has been at or
near the very top of the SSDF list for quite some time now.  Plus Tiger/Rebel
have one of the best opening book makers in the business.

It is definitely strange that they do not play, this impression is only
amplified by the lack of response from Christophe who is usually not slow in
coming forward to get some free publicity :-).
