ChessTiger
by Christoph Théron is the shooting star amongst chess programs. The rate at
which its playing strength has increased in recent years is sensational. Already
in 1999 and 2000 it chalked up a number of remarkable tournament victories. Then
it became the serial winner of the Dutch computer chess championships, taking
its last title there in December 2002. In 2001 Chess Tiger won the “Republica
Argentina” grandmaster tournament in Buenos Aires, ahead of a number of top
GMs, with an incredible 2788 rating performance. In the SSDF computer rating
lists Chess Tiger is always in one of the top places. So it is hardly surprising
that computer chess fans hold this program in the very highest esteem. Most of
them consider Chess Tiger one of the top chess programs in the world. Chess
Tiger 15.0 runs under the original Fritz interface. There are plenty of
functions for beginners, club players and grandmasters: blitz and tournament
chess, handicap levels, analysis. There is a competent chess coach for beginners,
with complete move descriptions, warnings and real-time help during the game. In
a special sparring level the program delib-erately sets up tactical chances for
you to exploit. It has many high-quality print functions, a beautiful 2D board
and a state-of-the-art photo-realistic 3D board in elegant “glass” design.
The program comes with a giant tournament-tested openings book and a database of
500,000 top games. It also includes free one-year access to the chess server
