Yes, Tiger 12.0 is the first step in our collaboration.
In fact I'm calling it Tiger 12.0 for quite a while now, but I'm wrong. This
product is called the REBEL-TIGER.
It's mainly Chess Tiger with some ideas borrowed from Rebel.
Next year Ed will release the first Windows version of Rebel, which will be
Rebel with some ideas borrowed from Tiger.
Each product keeps its own qualities (you are not going to lose the positional
skills of Rebel!), but its weak points are improved with techniques borrowed
from its colleague.

The brand name REBEL will be clearly associated with this program.

It is not possible to use the 10.1 GUI with Tiger 11.5, as the GUI is 16 bits
code and the engine is 32 bits code.
I would like to know how you got Tiger 11.5 and Tiger 10.1. I don't remember
sending it to you, and it means that the copy you have is... illegal. Is it
right?
Well... Let's forget about this, but this time you should play the right game
and buy it. If you don't support chess programmers, don't expect them to provide
new strong engines in the future...
