Another thought ... to buy it from Lokasoft would be fine, I have no problem
with that.  Just would like it if the engine was UCI-compatible like Ruffian and
Deep Sjeng, so it could also be run under the CB interface.  That way,
Christophe and Lokasoft could get their well-earned money, and we could also use
this marvelous engine under our CB interface, if we chose to.  Now, that would
be perfect!

I really like the Tiger engine and respect Christophe's work.  That's why it is
the ONLY engine I keep which is not compatible in some way or other with the
Chessbase (Fritz 8) interface.  If Tiger 2004 would ALSO be a UCI-compatible
engine, then I (and others, I'm sure) would be a happy camper.
