True. But ChessTiger certainly has a lot more trouble with em.

Because of the games above and the time this arrived I assume you were
watching while I was playing it. You might also have noted I played a bunch
of games vs The Crazy Bishop after that. You might also have noted me
getting killed each time. And finally, you might have noted that I
played another one vs ChessTiger and it allowed me to do the same
thing again - nearly -. This time it *did* break trough. But only
after a lot of pointless piece-shuffling. I rest my case: you can
hardly call this a "quite knowledge based program".

Very right. But that was also the way Chesstiger played. I could
already have claimed a draw, but because I was way up on time, I didn't.
