Tiger was tested because Chris offered it to them and they said yes. As for the
other programs they simply decided to use them. That is why some said there was
a SSDF, Chessbase conspiracy, but I just think they chose first to test those
programs cause they simply felt like it.

Plus who is to say whether this Tiger program will work as good as the DOS one
when it is put into windows.

To me Tiger's results are the same as if Bruce and Ferret was in the list at
number one.

I repeat I have nothing against Chris and Tiger, and we had a discussion already
about the fairness of the SSDF list and came to an agreement, that even though
the list is not really fair, its the best they can do with what they have. Which
to me is still not good enough.
