Go up one level in this thread


Crafy has a formula that prevents dozens and dozens of GM's from playing it on
ICC.

The following are GM's who are not deemed by Mr. Hyatt good enough to play
Crafty:
Giovanni Vescovi, Loek van Wely, Maxim Dlugy, Miguel Quinteros, Einar Gausel,
Tony Miles, Mihail Saltaev, hugo spangenbrg, Friso Nijboer, Yuri Shulman, Felix
Izeta, Eran Liss, gerald hertneck, Pablo Zarnicki, Ilan Manor, Gregory Kaidanov,
as well as many many other GM's who do not have their name public.


Crafty also refuses to any computer chess programs that require an increment.
That eliminates most of your strong commercial programs, as they must be
manually operated.


When you are very picky about who you play, good things can happen to your
rating.
