Please remember that it was a 80 games match, not 10.
Remember that Tiger played with a little outdated book. There is no tuning.

We have been told so many times ICC ratings are lousy so I prefered to send my
program to several beta testers who play games directly.
These testers are well known and generally give very useful informations. This
was a key point as there was not much time left before the commercial release of
the product. We would not distribute a program that is a loser.
