Is there a question to be answered somewhere, or what is the purpose?

Anyway, looking forward to Chess Tiger 2008
Just hope it will now be MP, combined with another 50-80 Elo points strength increase on normal tournament level, as CT 2007 did.

Best regards,

My list has CT2007.1 picking up 34 Elo vs. CT15.

Honestly, I was kind of hoping for a lot more considering the time gap between the two versions.

Both CCRL and CEGT shows an improvement of 40-60 points. If I understand correctly, Christophe didnt start working on his engine again until few months before release. Of course, he could have just cloned one of the strong open source engine to get to the top, but it seems that he didnt do it.

Searching for chesstiger in google I find different opinions:

"ChessTiger by Christoph Théron is the shooting star among chess programs. The rate at which its playing strength has increased in recent years is sensational."

If Christophe is still working on the program, I think he could probably add another 50-75 Elo on his next release. He is, after all, rather clever.

Why Tiger is playing in 1 Division and not in Premier? There is sure about 10 weaker engines in Premier (CCRL or CEGT ratings)! May be You can't start in Premier in WBEC?

New engines need to win qualification tests to promote.

Tiger failed in the qualification tests against places 10-12 of the premier of Edition 14
