Initially I got into a problem when someone with Crafty 17.14 kept automatically rematching me before I could decline or abort. I do not mind playing computers, but do not know how to get out of a continual loop. I am play _the_ Crafty now and getting smashed. Any advice on ics commands welcomed. My main intention is get an idea of how strong searcher is, particularly against decent humans. It clearly cannot compete with the top software. What is your handle on chees.net? Frank
