Chess Tiger

Chess Tiger is a strong chess program developed by Christophe Théron which achieved a number of tournament successes between 2000 and 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.
