I don't have the impression you spend your time on books. If you want my opinion
it is better to work on the engine, and I guess that is just what you are doing
too...

No, this is a claim of superiority over Junior 5. :) :) :)
Of course this is a joke. Right now I have no information on how strong your new
version is, and you have no clue about what Tiger is able to do... I hope you
see this match in the same spirit as I do: we will get useful information (I
hope) and go back to work.
But a little provocation before the match is just part of the folklore! :)
If Tiger 11.5 is too weak against Junior 5, we will learn nothing from the
match, and I suppose the best thing to do is to ask Thorsten to stop the
slaughter after 4 or 5 games if Tiger still has 0 point.
