Note that part of the difference is that crafty has a superior book when in case of matches of 40 games I plan to always change the first move to avoid losing the same game again and again and opening like 1.e4 a6 or 1.e4 a5 may give crafty an additional advantage. I am almost sure that Crafty is going to win against movei but I am also almost sure that movei will win games and a match is going to be interesting for me. I plan to improve movei before the match(I already have a version that is probably better than the public version and I plan to release a better version in the next 10 days. Even 1.e4 a5 is not automatic loss and for black and seeing the result of a match of 40 games is going to be interesting. > >Maybe a Movei-Diep match would be more interesting. I prefer not to discuss about things that will never happen. Like hyatt I do not plan to bet about matches. Uri
