In my opinion there is no other better way to establish the relative strength of a program than playing it against other programs for hundreds of games at longer time controls. And so we see for instance that Chess Tiger is an awesome beast after all, which supports my own thoughts about the engine and has now been objectively proven. So keep up the good work. There are many of us here excited about youre tournaments! Greetings, Kaj
