I second that motion.

I think it is interesting to see the whole discussion as a proof of the
influence the SSDF list (still) has.
When Tiger had great results in my tournaments, nobody cared.
When Tiger had great results in Didzis' tournaments, nobody cared.
When Tiger had great results on the Rebel website, nobody cared.
Now Tiger is #1 on SSDF (P-90), and everyone's going ballistic about "where can
I buy it, why is it not available", just like the ever-recurring Ferret craze.
;-)
I'm just proud I already knew 1 year ago this day would come. :))))

And I predict this forum will be flooded with Tiger postings once it is
released, ranging from "Tiger is a monster" and "Tiger is better than XYZ" to
"Why does Tiger lose to Fritz?" and "CSTal 2 - Tiger 4:0"... ;-)))

Compare it with Chessmaster, it's "deja vu all over again" (Yogi Berra).
