I am surprised to read that you worked 24 hours a day(or almost) on improving chess tiger. I guess that most programmmers could get better result than they get now even if they work only 4 to 8 hours a day on their engine. I know that Amir Ban has a full time job not in chess programming and he is also busy in posting in the second forum(chess thinkers forum) about political subjects so I guess that he is using less time in a day for Junior.
