Chess Tiger is nearly the perfect program to do battle against humans and computers (IMO). Hardly any weaknesses, very strong in endgames, tough to beat even using anti-computer tactics. Harald-faber said: "ChessTiger 13 was the first amateur program that entered of the swedish SSDF-list from nowhere right to the top. So the expectations to its successor are high of course. No problem, ChessTiger fulfills them all. The well- balanced and safe (also tactical: I cannot remember even one game in which ChessTiger was crushed by tactics) middlegame play build the base for the successful endgame. In endgames ChessTiger is almost unbeatable and is also ahead of Shredder which is said to be the strongest endgame player. I disagree, ChessTiger is stronger. A typical game with ChessTiger goes as follows: opening, solid middlegame, and in the endgame Tige shows his claws. If the opponent is able to defend perfectly and does not make any mistake, the game edns in a draw, otherwise ChessTiger wins. Impressive. Absolutely reference, which might be equalized by the new Shredder 5.32, but for proof there is more testing necessary." Chess Tiger 15 is even better, as shown by ChessFun. However, of all the engines in existence, only Junior 7 seems to pose some unique problems to Tiger. Perhaps Junior's programming specifically beats a gray area in the Tiger Algorithm.
