Tiger 15 still has a problem with Fischer time controls.

When you set it to 5+30 it will probably use only 10 seconds or so per move,
instead of 35 seconds in average.

So you let it play with a 3/1 handicap... Not surprising that it has problems.

Frankly I don't understand why someone would use a Fischer time control of X+Y
where Y is much bigger than X. Can someone explain the idea behind this?
