Tiger is NOT focused on comp-comp games. It happens to do well in comp-comp, but
it has not been designed with this in mind.
For example, I do NOT use Auto232 to play thousands of games against the other
commercial programs. In this regard, I bet that Tiger is, amongst the commercial
programs, the one that trains the least against its peers.
Other chess programmers have from time to time admitted that they use Auto232 to
play as many games as possible against commercial programs.
I do NOT do that.
