Tiger is not exactly chessbase.
It supports also chessbase but the same is correct for a lot of
free winboard and uci programs.

I think that it may be better if every engine support every interface
so people also can use Junior,Fritz under Loaksoft and chessmaster.

It is possible to use Winboard engines under these interfaces and it is pity
that the commercial programs are behind.
