I don't until there is proof.
A) CM wasn't tested on P90 so there is no comparison and no evidence that Tiger
is also best on MMX200 or K6-450 as Rebel9 was best on P90 before but wasn't on
MMX200. So to conclude from the P90 result that Tiger will also be best on
faster machines is too early and probably wrong.
B) I don't like all that Tiger-hype since most of the games and results are not
tournament games.

Concerning TIger/K6-450 vs Prog X/P90 I think it is really nonsense to play such
a match, no matter if Prog X has an almost safe rating.
Take a class-a soccer team, let's call it team A, playing versus a team of the
lowest regional class (call it Z). Team A wins 10-0. Let another team out of the
class-a play against Z, call it team B. B wins 12-0. Would you say that team B
is better/stronger than team A? I would never say that until I have more results
and games within class-a. And you shouldn't say that too.
