it was an ACM event the 18th well i do remember in this book by Monty Newborn
that different "Teams" were having parallel search problems so i can believe
it...but even so I looked at this with crafty and it's not playing Ne6 ....to
deep  it was 5 or 10 minutes on a pentium 500 but the 17-13 version isn't
optimized for chessbase so i wouldn't put too much stock in this so i use 17.10
i could use 17.11 but i noticed something weird it loads up and flashed crafty
17.10 loading but then in the main window it says 17.11    i think someone at
ChessBase screwed up... anyhow it said Depth 13/25 i wasn't in a rush to let it
think for half an hour so i left it at that.... The main thing to say is  Crafty
does a good job of predicting Cray Blitz moves and given time it would make as
good if not better moves in my opinion.


one position doesn't say much but i think it is a good guess besides you've come
to similar conclusions years ago.....


Thankyou again Prof. Hyatt
