This is not the way to go, as I told you in private emails. You know I expected
Tiger to suffer a lot from its small book and lack of learner.
I must add (but keep it for yourself) that Tiger does not recognizes
transpositions in the opening, which makes things even worse. If the line is not
in the book, in the right order, Tiger just starts thinking by itself!!!
But now just a word to the competition: guys, don't expect to take advantage of
Tiger's small book and lack of learner. When you put your hands on my engine, it
will be integrated into Rebel's interface, and will benefit from Rebel's huge
encyclopedia and smart learner! :)
Stop playing with the books. You'd better work on the engines! :)
