I have a hunch you play blitz, which is the usualy deal there. That being the case I dont think None of the Chess Tigers have been world beaters at blitz, which I do not think Christophe gets too upset about. Try some long time control such as SSDF employs, you may see a different result, maybe not I dont know. Secondly I know Christophe has always said "as much hash as possible", but my experience with Fritz et all Engines that is not best in blitz. example in game 5/0 with Fritz my experience with all Fritz's is hash of 32 or even perhaps 15 megs. It is my opinion that Tiger 14 plays 5/0 best with hash around these values although Christophe may say otherwise and he ought to know, but I have spend many of games there with TG14 and that is my impression.
