In fact, Tiger 11.8.2 and 11.5 both came out 2nd in my recent big tournament on 2 PIII-550s, clearly ahead of Fritz and Hiarcs. 11.8.2 would have easily won, had he not played (and lost) the first two games with the first version of the big book where losing lines were not flagged as "don't play" (similar to its experience in Paderborn and in Didzis' Summer tournament). 11.8.x was a definite improvement over 11.7.x, and I'm sure 12.0 will be even better (can't wait :). But already 11.4 (the first version I tested) quickly gave me the impression of GM potential. >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. I only hope that some future version will support tablebases, then it will be almost impossible to beat. --- Shep
