Chess Tiger 14 is strong at this time limit, I dont have CT 15, but from some
testers it seems that 14 is as strong as 15 in fast time controls.

It is interesting to note that without tablebases, some engines enter into dead
drawn endgames. e.g. rook+bishop or rook+knight vs lone rook.

Hiarcs 8 should challenge CT 14 at this time control, should be interesting.
