	Tiger is also stronger with faster hardware. I think every current competitive
program gets stronger with faster hardware (or longer time controls). But the
improvement in strength is not uniform for all programs.
	It is posible that Diep gains more strength from the longer time controls than
Chess Tiger; but the opposite is also quite posible. The only way I know to find
out is to play some test games at different time controls.

	I am looking forward to the games of this match. Should be quite interesting. I
hope that Thorsten can post, besides the game scores, the programs' evaluations
and main lines, at least in the critical moves.
José.
