Even if it would go on that way it would only be proof that Crafty beats Rebel.
There would still remain the question how Crafty does against other opponents.

It will take MUCH time...
A better Crafty auto232 support would result in more games to have a better

BTW are there any recommandations for an opening book for Crafty engine in
Fritz-GUI? The Fritz powerbook?

And BTW choose your opponent for the Deep Thought-position, you didn't answer

Genius or your favourite Junior? :-)
