Also 97 points has a tolerance which means it could be more or less. The point is that Crafty is still behind the top commercial programs. Because they only come out once each year, Crafty appears to be catching up more quickly than it really is. The improvement in Fritz this time was really great. Crafty is still behind but with Bob working overtime, it is slowly closing the gap. One thing for sure, you can't complain about the price of Crafty. I really like Crafty in the Chessbase interface. It seems that all the problems have been fixed as far as Chessbase/Crafty goes. Crafty seems to score better using the Fritz book too. Jim Walker
