Don't worry, it will lose it again during the course of using the program. I don't think the endgame tablebases work with Chess Tiger. They may work for the other Chesspartner program provided but I didn't try it. The GUI was a piece of junk 8 months ago when I tested it and not much has changed since then. They have fixed a few minor bugs but it needs a lot of work. They also mention that Lokasoft does not support the auto232 function so if it works great but if it doesn't work don't come complaining to them. That's a great piece of customer relations. The internet server functions are miserable. Almost nothing works automatically and none of the settings you click in are remembered one game later. The help manual in the program is pitiful. I also played 10 blitz games of Tiger vs Junior 6 and Junior 6 won 7-3 so this thing has just made my day. It's hard to believe I've spent the last 3 months waiting for this junk. I'm going to spend all day tomorrow reading the manual looking for the magic words that make everything work the way it should. Cheers, Jim Walker
