I enjoyed having it checkmate >me in 19 moves last night. Jasmine, I agree that Chess Tiger is an enjoyable opponent to play against, and I respect Mr. Theron and the work he does. I have a copy of Chess Tiger 15 (non-Chessbase) using the Chess Partner GUI, and I also have CT for Palm (I enjoy that too, and greatly look forward to Hiarcs 9 for Palm). I love my Chessbase GUI and the programs I play on it, including Fritz 8 and Hiarcs 9, etc, and I would also like my Tiger to play in the CB GUI. However, I feel that I have already paid twice for that engine, and quail at the thought of paying for it yet a third time ... for exactly the same engine! I have gotten Deep Sjeng 1.5 to work in the Fritz 8 GUI, since it's a UCI engine. How about Chess Tiger 15? Is there a way to make the non-CB version work there? Do I really have to pay a third time for the same engine? I respect the programmers and the wonderful work they do, and I certainly never begrudge them their rightful license fees. But to pay 3 times for the exact same engine is a bit much. To make it worse, I already have the CB GUI and the 500,000+ games that I got with Fritz 8 and and Hiarcs 9, and I will pay for yet again if I order the CT15/CB version. Groan.... Mark Anderson
