I am playing a small manually operated "fun" match between Chess Tiger 12.0en
and Chess tal 2.03. Time control is rather fast:  40 moves in 10 minutes. Tiger
is a favorite, IMHO, and time is just the "not the best" for Tal. 200MMX my
standard testing procedure (that is PB off, 16 MB for Tiger, 16 + 4 Mb for Tal)

Chess Tiger - Tal    1-0 this far

What is your predicition in 10 games?   9-1 for Tiger?   7-3 for Tiger? :-)
Tiger is not Junior, but still if Harald's results are taken as the indicator,
there could easily be 9.5-0.5 for Tiger, and that is not what I expect.
