==1997==
The only tiger playing chess in the world! This program, developed under the Caribbean sun, is a blitz specialist. Recently it has greatly been improved and rewritten for 32 bits processors, bringing its level close to the best "state of the art" PC computer chess.

==1999==
Chess Tiger used to be a very good tactical program, but has been improved to include more positional knowledge and is now a more balanced chess player. Chess Tiger is still developed under the sun, in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guadeloupe Guadeloupe] (French West Indies).
