You are right. Comet is now winning the matches at 3 2 time controls. I now have a small opening book for Crafty and have put in the proper hash tables, so each side is using 24Mb main hash with Crafty also using 4Mb pawn hash. Actually I spoke too soon about the results of 60 moves/1 minute time controls. Comet actually had the upper hand in the end. However I am running these matches on a pentium 166 and Crafty does much better on Pentium Pros and above. Can you definitely verify that pondering is turned off for Comet during these matches in Winboard? I have pondering turned off for Crafty but I don't know how to turn the pondering off or whether it is by default off for Comet. If Comet is pondering then these matches aren't fair.
