Subject: Another inquiry about Chess Tiger

 Hi Chris


  If you don't mind, and if this question is not asking you to reveal secrets,
could you  post some further comments concerning Chess Tigers Search? A few days
ago you commented that Chess Tiger Sees More because of Chess knowledge.  Also
you pointed out that Chess Tiger Searches less than half the nodes per second
that Fritz searches. Without being to "technical" how is it possible for Chess
tiger to outplay and outsearch Fritz if it does not search as many nodes? I have
noticed in many positions using Fritz to analyze the games of Tiger, that Fritz
will completely miss a move that tiger made, even after thinking five minutes.
Yet when I enter the move in fritz it's score will skyrocket indicating it
thought the move very good.  I soppose that your program is proving once and for
all that nodes per second is not the most important thing in chess strength. Is
Tiger 12.0 Faster or slower than your previous versions?
