I have been comparing the top engines [on the same computer] by evaluating the same position, sequentially, with each engine. Many examples so far, but in every case the time required to get to a given search depth is MUCH longer for Crafty. Why is that? Also, does it matter in terms of playing strength? Could it be that Crafty's findings at depth = 12 are just as good as Junior's findings at depth = 16? If Crafty could find a way to do just as much useful computation in half the time [on the same computer], it would play better. Right? [Obviously.] Maybe Crafty 19.03 is wasting too much time on non-essential computations!!!!!!!!!!!! Bob D.
