The last couple of times I have played matches against Crafty, the scores have been almost exactly 50%. But it should be pointed out that the match conditions are not very fair to Crafty, for two reasons: 1. I play my matches on a single-CPU machine, with pondering disabled. As is well known, Crafty is seriously crippled without pondering, because its time management doesn't work well. 2. My Crafty executable is compiled using GCC on a Linux machine. The Windows version of Crafty is probably compiled using the Intel or Microsoft compiler (unlike Gothmog, which uses GCC on all platforms), which reportedly produce much faster code. I also think it is possible that Gothmog performs better against Crafty than against other engines of similar strength, for reasons of playing style. Crafty's lack of king safety eval makes it rather vulnerable to Gothmog's very aggressive play. >and Movei and Gothmog seems quite close. They do. Frenzee also belongs to the same league. Tord
