As I said, I played over 1000 games.  That post was after 925 games and ignores
the poor results with Junior mentioned earlier.  My results since then have
continued to be worse as indicated by my post.  My latest database does not
include the beta test games.  I never included them in the database because it
was a "beta" version as far as I knew and I didn't want to screw up my database
with games from a broken beta engine.  In retrospect I could have kept them
since the beta ended up being the final version as far as I know.  Here is what
is in my "standard" database now for Tiger 15 vs:
Fritz 7 8.5-16.5 (corrected)
Junior 7 2.0-12.0
Ruffian  14.0-12.0
Shredder 6Classic 7.0-11.0
Hiarcs 8  9.0-9.0
Shredder Paderborn 5.0-3.0
Aristarch 4.4  4.5-2.5
Junior 6     3.5-1.5

That is a score for Tiger 15 of 53.5 out of 121.  Not very impressive.  The
above results vs Fritz 7 and Junior 7 are terrible.  I don't know if it's the
result of "learning" by those two during the beta period or what.  I doubt it's
that.  It could just be bad luck but it started way back near the end of the
beta period.  I have no explanation for the results, only the results
themselves.
