This kind of post comes up sometimes and I don't understand it. The only reasonable conclusion I can draw from a report that Rebel has won 35 in a row against Crafty, while running on inferior hardware, is that something is wrong with your Crafty installation. Winning a few in a row is random and might indicate some superiority but might not. Winning 35 in a row is completely insane, it's like a thousand rating points. That's just not true, and I'd be surprised if someone here tried to suggest differently. bruce
