Running on "crippled" computers has helped me a lot to improve Chess Tiger this
summer. I have done a lot of testing on a 386dx20 computer in August and
discovered a selective algorithm I have just added in Chess Tiger 12.0. Ask Shep
about the speed improvement he has just noticed in the new version of Tiger.
Don't worry, with your state of mind, I think you are very well protected
against this kind of discovery.
As for "will it be useful in serious games", keep an eye on the results of Tiger
and you will know.
Thanks for your time and patience, Doctor Hyatt.
