The newest engine of Crafty is 16.4T and this version doesn´t clear the
hashtables and uses tablebases. I have played 14 games against Junior5.0 and
Crafty scored a 6-8( 4 draws, 4 wins for Crafty and 6 wins for Junior ). Level
was 40moves/40minutes with pb=off on a AMD-K6II-333MHz.
The only "disadvantage" for crafty was that I have to use the general-book for
crafty.

Best regards
