Chess Tiger is a strong chess program developed by Christophe Théron which achieved a number of tournament successes between 2000-2002. Although still commercially available, the Windows version has not been developed recently so has largely historical significance only. It is known for its high level of strength and as a trainer engine to help beginners improve their chess techniques.
Playing strength[edit]
The playing strength of Chess Tiger is inferior to better known programs such as Fritz and Shredder.[1] In 2001 Chess Tiger won a tournament in Buenos Aires[2] ahead of a number of top grandmasters, and achieved a rating performance of 2788 Elo rating.[3][4] Chess Tiger won the French and Dutch Chess Computer Championships three times each.[5] Chess Tiger won the first Berliner Emanuel-Lasker Computerchess-Tournament in October 2001.[6]
Playing style[edit]
Chess Tiger is designed to be particularly aggressive in its style of play.[7] While most chess engines tend to avoid gambits and sacrifices Chess Tiger actually prefers them.[8] Chess Tiger calculates very quickly even in relatively weak hardware environments which implies that the evaluation function is fairly 'light' and that therefore the balance between speed and positional understanding is weighted in favour of the former.[9]
Example game[edit]
This game from the above-mentioned 2001 Argentina Masters Event sees Chess Tiger defeat the well known Grandmaster Oscar Panno. Panno sacrifices the exchange for a pawn early on, and although he gets a second pawn he struggles to fully coordinate his queenside pieces, finally falling for a tactical shot from Chess Tiger on move 34.
