According to http://www.ludochess.com/fccc2002/tournoi.php3, Chess Tiger was slightly outgunned. The timecontrol was 20+5 according to FQ. Maybe the increment is to blame. >Another surprise is to see the name jester here. > >I think that it is not the real jester that is a weak winboard program from USA. > >Programmers should at least check the list of winboard engines before they >choose a name for their program. Apparently, the French Jester is a Java chess program: http://www.ludochess.com/jester_eng/jester_eng.php3. Not a WinBoard engine and may or may not be older than the American version, so your criticism isn't wellplaced IMO. Regards, Mogens
