Yes, it's nice that you were actually not being sarcastic. It's a pity that the
GnuChess project didn't find a real follow-up . Actually I thought that Gnu 4
was a quite decent chessplayer, and Gnu 5 never really convinced me at all.

But it's not really a great sparring partner for Crafty IMHO, unless you want to
see some impressive scores ;) .
