I realize that this statement sounds very pretentious. I have to apology for
this. I think I had in mind "games against humans" when I said this, but anyway
Tiger can also be defeated by humans in the middle game.
Of course, almost all the top programs can beat Tiger in the middle game, so my
statement is completely false. I just hope this does not happen more than 50% of
the time!
Fernando, why did you let my stupid drunk statement find its way into your
paper?? :)

It is not the only candidate. I often get reports of Tiger being sadly
overplayed in the middle game by Fritz5. :(
But believe me, I'll work hard to fix this! :)
