The fact that Tiger never failed to get 50% against all comers, and it was strictly 10 games against each, no excuses, and they were (presumably) the FIRST 10 games without choosing and cheating, all this indicates that Tiger 15 is every thing you could hope for-no weaknesses which other programs don't have. So by buying that program you have the best of everything to date! And, I would say that intuitively mathematically, it may be even higher in elo than estimated at present. At any rate, it looks like it may well be ballanced, and the most authentic chess so far in computers. >We thank her >for her efforts. > >Tim > >If I have Junior 6a and CT 15 won three and lost three with the remainder of >games being draws then why should I buy CT 15 other than liking Christophe >Theron? Ans. Because it's there! It would probably end up with a plus score, and even if it remains even, the playing quality of Tiger might be seen to be the superior one. Since it's good against all the other engines too, that may signify that it has much better taste to it, and may even be best against humans, as it seems to have quite a wide range of expertise regarding computers. Or was there something missed out? (Junior 8?) S.Taylor
