Subject: Comet A 90 vs Crafty 15

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.

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). "
