Here is a crazy thought, why not simulate DB?
Given all the papers, I think it should be possible to modify Craft to use the
same eval and extensions. We turn off hashing, nullmove, SEE and whatever DB
didn't have. Then we find a slow machine for Tiger and a super fast one for
Crafty, so Crafty (in DB-mode) has a 200 nps fold advantage.

Ok lot of work, but seems this is the never ending story :)
