Considering Crafty played most games on hardware that seems about twice as fast as mine, I think this is a pretty nice result. >My guess is the engines are pretty close, but I'm not yet >convinced Sjeng is stronger. I'm not out here to convince you. When the program is released, it will be able to do so without my help. I accepted Roberts challenge because I disagreed with his claim that ICC games are a good way to determine which program is stronger. My argument was that you end up (unintentionally) playing with debug versions too much. This happened in the match, Sjengs first 13 games being played with a handicapped personality. I didn't complain, fixed the bug and played on, confident that Sjeng would come back in the match and repair or limit the damage.
