I looked at the game and I believe that chesstiger has good chances to win the
game.
There are many pieces on the board and I think that you could lose on time if
the game continues when the computer plays many quite moves and push a pawn.

I think that the final position of tiger is better.
it can push the pawns against your king and I do not believe that you are going
to avoid a tactical mistake.

The fact that tiger does not hurry to do it can cause you time trouble and the
chance for tactical mistakes is bigger.

It is not important if you lose a game in 20 move or in 200 moves.
Maybe you can save the game in longer time control but I am not sure about it
because tiger may find better moves in longer time control.
