I think Kasparov could easily reach the 32.0/8.0 (do you have to extract repeat
games :} ), but the 12/0 is a bit tricky.

Christopher,
I think we accept that Tiger is very very very good in Computer v Computer.
Are there any plans to formally test it against Humans, in the style of the
Rebel Challenge?

Ed said on his pages as much as a year ago that Tiger was better at Com. v Com.
than Rebel.  I felt the implication was that Tiger may not be so strong in Human
games.

I feel the opposite about Hiarcs (but it is only a feeling), that it would
outperform some top programs in matches against humans, where it (more or less)
equals them in com v com.

What Human testing have done, & do you intend.

Also,
Rebel-Tiger is a stand alone product.  Will it also be an engine for
Rebel-Windows?

I think I've said it before, but Congratulations on the culmination of your many
years of work.  I hope you get lots of money (including a small lump of mine)
from this to make life easy for you.
