How about it? In my tournament played last year on 2 PII-400s, Tiger 11.7.5 beat
Hiarcs 7 6-4 and tied 5-5 against Fritz 5.32, and I hear that Tiger 12 is
improved.

Something quite extraordinary about Tiger, at least the 11.7.5 version, is that
it plays the best endgames I have seen in CC, in spite of knowing nothing about
specific endings like wrong bishops, Philidor endings, etc.
