Christophe,

I am glad to hear about your committment to a free version of Tiger for Linux.
If I may make a suggestion, make it compatible with SCID.  I use Crafty for
analysis in SCID and it works very nicely.  SCID does not play games, but I like
the analysis function it provides.  Also, like Crafty, keep the score absolute,
i.e. positive (+) for a white advantage and negative (-) for a black advantage
no matter whose side it is to move.

Regards,

Steve
