Winboard engines are supported, and access to Chess Internet servers is available directly from the Interface. The owner has the ability to define their own tailored levels and name them for seamless incorporation into the default levels listbox, a very neat facility. Hash Ram assignment for Tiger has been improved. Set the maximum available for the system and let Tiger assign the necessary ram according to the level of play set. Much more civilised.
Tiger now shows pondering during the opponents thinking time.
This is a good improvement for Tiger owners as the more information feedback that can be presented the more interesting each game becomes. This new release of Tiger makes it possibly the strongest single processor chess program on the market at the time of release. All the top programs are much closer in strength now than in years gone by. Therefore a considerable number of games is required at a variety of time controls in order to determine which programs have the advantage in various areas of the game. It is becoming increasingly more difficult to say that one specific program is overall strongest in all areas of play.
