The improvement I have measured is above 40 elo points.

Even if my measure is overoptimistic, in any case I cannot consider that an
improvement of only 9 elo points is credible.

If think Tiger has simply been unlucky in the SSDF games played on Athlon
1.2GHz. It happens. I cannot complain either, it's just part of the game...

"Normal" seems to be always better, at all time controls, but Chessfun has found
that Gambit Aggressive is maybe even better.

I still do not know. It's worth a try.
