An indirect hit. Fritz is making mistakes, so why isn't Tiger getting better. Ties together all statements as one big slam. > >And, what about Tiger for ARM Palm processors?

My two cents - Chess programmers, good chess programmers like Chris are always working on their engine. They are good because they love it and it's hard to pull back from it. So you hinting that Chris had not been working on his engine was a major affront to him -- and understandbly so. Other than asking Chris if he's working on his program - what was the point of all your questions? What were the positive things, if any, you were trying to say about Tiger? If you were, they got lost in the all negatively. My take is that you were totally clueless on how you came across.
