DF has a performance rating of 2635 againt GM's (avg rating 2555 over 10 games). Deeper Blue has a performance rating of 2862 against one super GM (Kasparov, rated 2795 over 6 games). Thats 25 games for these 3 programs, so there is a track record I can reference. I would like to see how Crafty does against a GM at 40/2. I am always looking for more prog vs GM games at 40/2. Crafty has done very well on the servers at fast (less than 40/2) time controls. I have no 40/2 games against GM players for Crafty, thus I find it difficult to discuss how Crafty might do. You could be right, I just have not seen any games. :) Best Regards, Chris Carson
