I have done about 80 games of Crafty 15 vs Comet A90 and Comet is stronger at 10 2 on a Pentium 166Mhz. If I had a faster computer then Crafty would do better, and I am still having problems with uninterrupted matches because if Crafty resigns or if there is a perpetual the match will hang. Also Sometimes Comet will not start a match. It refuses to make the first move of a match sometimes. I have to click the match icon shortcut again. I have now included the beep initstring to see if this makes a difference with the match hangs. It hasn't solved the occaisonal Comet refusal to start a match however. -- Komputer Korner The following was done by Tracy Miller and posted in the r.g.c.c. "I have now completed five 5 0 matches with various programs against Comet using Tim Mann's wonderful new Winboard 3.6.9beta. Each match was 30 games. Here are the results: EXChess 4.0 Comet 26.0 GnuChess 7.5 Comet 22.5 Tristram 1.5 Comet 28.5 Arasan 1.5 Comet 28.5 Crazy Bishop 21.5 Comet 8.5 I finally found a program that seems to be better than Comet at blitz. Check out Crazy Bishop's wonderful performance! I tried hard to make conditions equal for these programs. I made sure the hash tables were equivalent, wherever possible. The only thing I couldn't figure out how to do was tell which programs were pondering (thinking on opponents' time). "
