I have mixed feelings on the Tiger option. I have mixed results too, from
extreme good to bad results. Christophe and I discussed this during Paderborn
and came to the conclusion his technique needs some final tuning before running
optimal in Rebel, a matter of time, I hope.  Of course the TIGER technique
itself gives Chess Tiger a real push as it is fits in Christophe's approach
and way of doing things.

Christophe and I often come to the conclusion our programs are totally
different in approach and we learn a lot from each other. Lots of fun too.

To avoid the fluctuations in match scores the Tiger option isn't rewarded in
Rebel's default settings.

Hope this answers your question.
