I think it is Chess Tiger.  I (My modified Crafties) have played it a bunch of
times, at different time controls, and it wins almost all of them.  I won a
bunch at first, and I was thinking the same thing - "This can't be Tiger,
because it's not so strong."  Then it started winning most of the games.
Perhaps the machine is being used for some other stuff, and Tiger doesn't get
much of the CPU during these times?
It may be that Insomniac's style is just difficult for Tiger, or that Insomniac
is stronger than you think. :)  I've seen several people comment on it,
specifically about the Dutch Open.  Some people were amazed by how deep it
searches, and that its author is so young. :))  How long have you been working
on it now?  A couple years, maybe?  I think by the time you've worked as long as
some of these other people, you may be the one to beat someday, if you continue
to improve as you've done so far.  I certainly would be glad to see it. :)
