He should have contacted me before. It is completely useless to test Chess Tiger
Light, as it has been weakened on purpose!
There is something else: he uses 15s/move time setting. It is a nonsense to use
such settings, because you cannot be sure that one program is not going to think
a lot more than the other one. At least in my implementation of this time
control, there is no guarantee that Tiger will really average 15s/move.
The ranking of Chess Tiger Light is also very strange. It is at place #142, when
several version of Sargon are ranked lower. Remember that Tiger Light is a demo,
and is very weak. And I know these versions of Sargon are better than Tiger
Light...
I think I'm going to contact him and suggest sereval ways to improve his list.
However I like this list and I would like to see where my best version of Tiger
(currently 11.7.5) would stand.
