As you can see from my web page, Chess Tiger had real problems with CM 7000
under my standard testing conditions. 6 games mean nothing, but there were no
slowdowns in Tiger's calculations! I sent Christophe all my calculations and he
could not find any problem in them. I asked Christophe to look at Tiger games
from his viewpoint - maybe something strange or unusual? Maybe something I have
not noticed yet? -, but he could not see any problem either.

I would be very interested in games played on two computers or at 40/120. Hello,
"Big testers" out there! ;-) Help me to find the answer!

Who knows. Maybe next 6 games would be won by Tiger, but....  Just look at
games... :-(

My conclusions this far are as folllows:

1) Tiger has had problems under MY STANDARD CONDITIONS (one PC, PB off, 16 MB
for every program, CPU usage calculations before the match. Chessmaster's Game
Details window started after every CM's move to stop CM from taking CPU when it
is opponent's turn.).

2) Although engine may be the same in both 6000 and 7000, it looks like default
settings of CM 7000 are different and make it play different. I have not enough
data to say it plays better.
