The results are not what bothers me. What bothers me, is they are using a
version that had some serious bugs, and 17.08 came out very quickly after 17.07
to correct this...

If they want to use a version close to 17.07, then use 17.08. Atleast there will
be more realistic results.

Crafty is definately higher rated than the current SSDF list states. And I doubt
many will argue with that fact.

As for Crafty not using the Winboard environment, that is actually a good thing.
Under ChessBase GUI, it is getting a well designed book to use. Crafty's book is
good, but most times very speculative. The Crafty 16.xx series book, was by far
better than the 17.xx series.

Then again Uli, would you want the SSDF testing a version of Comet that had
serious bugs in it? I don't think you would, so why should another author have
to take the same sort of results?
