I doubt that I'd lose on time...I have 2 mins 20 seconds vs. a mere 18 seconds. I even considered trying to get ChessTiger to flag, but I do realize, once it breaks the position open, that I stand no chance. >I think that the final position of tiger is better. I certainly is...if it can and dares to break through. >it can push the pawns against your king and I do not believe that you are going >to avoid a tactical mistake. That's why I'm hoping it'll continue to shuffle its pieces aimlessy. A kingside pawn attack would kill me in no-time. >The fact that tiger does not hurry to do it can cause you time trouble and the >chance for tactical mistakes is bigger. Erm...doesn't 'not hurrying' rather mean that ChessTiger will get into time trouble ? Really, I'm quite fast at just moving my queen back and forth ;) >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. Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe I'd be able to see that a kingside attack is strong. Remeber that my original point was not that I could draw a game vs ChessTiger (I still think I can) but rather that it plays aimlessy, nearly stupid in closed positions. Unfortunately somebody changed its formula to rated && assesswin > 0 so there's no way to find out whether it's a win, draw or loss. -- GCP
