I personally think it just had bad luck (always look at the error
margins as well!). CT 15 doesn't appear to be particularly passive
compared to CT 14.

In private testing my engine has significantly more problems with
Tiger 15 than it has with any of the Fritzes or previous Tigers.

So I think in the next list Tiger on Athlon 1200 will rise quite a
bit probably.
