Wait a minute. Let me get this straight: Chess Tiger 12 is going to be an
internal engine??????  I can't believe it. Wow. Let me get my thoughts together
and try to say something more intelligent sounding. Somehting that would make me
look good.... Nope. Only one syllable resonating: Wow.  The rest is great of
course, but this is a real coup. Especially with Tiger killing everyone in the
SSDF list. I can hardly wait. Any chance users can have it by Christmas?
