It was not game/30 but 30'/60, which is a bit slower than game/60. >8/5p2/b7/P1k1Pp1p/5P2/2P2KPP/8/8 b - - id Hiarcs 7.32 PIII-50 - Tiger 12.0 >PII-300/; bm Bb7; > >Nice move by Hiarcs.

Tiger played pxh4?? I bet a lot of programs make this blunder. >8/2n4B/5k2/1pK5/2pN3p/6P1/7P/8 w - - id Tiger 12.0 PII-300/ - Hiarcs 7.32 >PIII-50; bm g3g4; You are right. g4 wins and Kc6 would win too. Almost anything is better here than gxh. But the move that bothered me the most is the very ugly 15.Bb1 in the second game. Anyway, don't tell me it is not impressive that even running on a slower machine Tiger 12 scored 62.5% in 20 games against the very strong H732 and N732. Enrique
