that is worrisome for me
i am a big chesstiger fan,

i hope this new route doesn't ruin its amazing anti human abilities,

only program i have ever tested that continously opens up the board, even if it
loses points on the evaluation by a significant margin,

everything else likes to close the board, even shredder 8 with 'prefer open
positions'

i hope, ct16 has some of that magic left with it.
