Your point is wrong. There is a "anti-human" option in Tiger that addresses this
issue. You would not be able to reach this kind of position if the option was
turned on.
If you are allowed to know which kind of opponent you are playing, then Tiger
should be allowed too. In this case, we would turn the "anti-human" option ON
when the opponent is a human.
But unfortunately the program runs completely automatically on FICS, with
defaults settings which are not appropriate for a chess server.
We are not playing there to get a ranking, but just to check that the program
can run for days without problems.
We could probably get a high ranking if we tried too. In this case we would use
a 450MHz computer (at least) and manually set up the program depending on the
opponent.
