I'm not sure I understand.
For your information, you should read the Rebel Home Page. You will discover
that Chess Tiger will be distributed by the same company that brings the well
known program Rebel (several times world champion and several times leader of
the SSDF list) to the public: Schröder BV.
The programmers of both Rebel and Chess Tiger have joined their force together
by exchanging programming ideas, and the result is that both Rebel and Chess
Tiger are becoming suddenly a lot stronger.
As far as I know, each version of Rebel has been a successful product, and most
users have always been satisfied with it. It is not the intention of the company
to make any popaganda. That would be a very shortsighted idea, and would
backfire after a few months.
The results you read about Chess Tiger 12.0 are posted by independant testers.
These testers are known publicly to be independant, passionated by computer
chess, very experienced, and they have generally a good judgment when it comes
to evaluating a chess program.
They spend hours and hours testing chess programs. They spend nights and days on
this.
Other companies trust their evaluations and send their products to them too.
The testers are free to keep the results for themselves or to publish them. When
I have sent Chess Tiger 12.0 to them, I have taken a RISK. If the results had
been bad, I would have no way to prevent them from posting them anyway.
And I did not know what the results could be. I don't have most of the
commercial programs they are testing Tiger against.
For example: when he began to play Tiger against CM7000, Didzis Cirulis has
found in the first games that Tiger was repeatedly losing. This has been posted
too. After some more games the results are not bad anymore, but you must realize
that I have no way to control this. Didzis does what he wants, and as I don't
have CM7000 I have no idea of what the final result will be.
Enrique began testing Tiger against top commercial programs by giving Tiger an
inferior hardware (P300 against P500)!!! I he had told he wanted to do so, I
would not have accepted!

What do you mean? It looks like you are insulting several people here. Can you
name them please and say explicitely what your problem is?
