Go up one level in this thread


I do hope the best for you and your program.  My "gripe" with your program (and
owning fritz 5; fritz 5.32; hiarcs 7.32; nimzo 7.32; chessmaster 6000 and 7000
as well as that antique, Powerchess 98, I qualify as an experienced program
user)is the overall feel.  I cannot see the opening book.  I cannot see the
lines in the opening book ( I can with the other programs).

After 40 games against various friends and their programs in yahoo chess my
initial assessment is that the engine is incredibly strong; in that sense I am
happy.  Seems to be stronger in blitz then Hiarcs and almost as strong in hour
long games as my nimzo.

So far, my chief complaint is that I cannot see the score of the game.  With my
other programs, I could follow the program's assessment of play.  If this
feature exists with Tiger, then I beseech you to show  me how to access it.  In
addition, are the default settings the strongest?  Is it possible to change them
if they arent ?  The lokasoft website's FAQ left me mystified.

Aside from these cosmetic complaints ( although, once again, for the money
charged, I would have expected a more user friendly product) in what really
matters, playing  strength, Tiger indeed seems to be incredibly strong.
