Hello Terje,
You have a serious problem somewhere.  I have played over 1000 games with
various Crafty versions and none of them are that bad.  In fact I know of no
program written in the last few years that would lose 35-0 to Rebel.  Crafty
16.15 may not be the strongest version (There are too many to keep track of) but
it's not that bad.  It might be interesting to see your CRAFTY.RC file.
Certainly the hardware should favor Crafty.  With the hardware you mention I
would expect a very close fight(Maybe 20-15 favor Rebel).
