Maybe she had the full upgrade; I only purchased the cheap ($29) upgrade from
Lex.  Or maybe she had the full CD with opening book.  Who knows.

My setup, btw is AMD 2100xp (1533 overclocked to 1793mhz),512 mb ram 2700, and I
set hash to 192mb; all other settings to tiger 15 normal are default.

In other games, it seems that tiger 15 gambit aggressive is stronger than
normal.  However, I havent played enough games to make any definitive statement.
