I have played more than a couple of games using two machines.  Even the great
Rebel 10 on my faster, by not a lot machine, don't nail Crafty like you seem to
have found!  Crafty if set up right is one hell of a monster!  A friendly
monster who's master has done one heck of a good job!  And continues to improve
on what is already a fine piece of chess software!  I have it running in
winboard, Fritz family interface, and even in a dos box, oh nearly forgot I also
got it running in an epd to diagram program!
IMHO, the thing is a good'un..  Why does I call it a *thing*, well it keeps
beating me?
Long Live Crafty (EXCLAM)
