Hello Uri,
I'm sure that's what he (GK) meant-- Crafty as a Chessbase engine is "pretty bad
relativively". All my test indicate Crafty is still a long way below the top
engines (At Blitz anyway). I haven't done much testing at 40/2 but at game/10
Crafty can't handle the top programs on equal hardware. My latest Blitz ratings
from auto232 testing:
Program Rating No. games Adj. Rating
1. Fritz 5.32 2460 133 2570
2. Junior 5.0 2453 161 2563
3. Nimzo 99 2356 261 2466
4. Crafty 16.5 2296 277 2406
5. Crafty 16.6 2294 162 2404
6. Comet B00 2238 344 2348
My Crafty only has a few of the 5 man tablebases and is missing the most
important one (KRPKR). I don't know what the problem is with Crafty. I would
be interested in other peoples opinions on what Crafty is missing. It seems to
be very agressive in it's style but gets out calculated.
