I think this is rediculous. Personally I think the article concerning crafty was extremely accurate. Crafty is not in the same class as the top commericial programs, This however does not mean that crafty sucks. Crafty is a strong master level program, but it falls short of the commericials. The truth is the truth, doesn't mean you don't like the programmer or are baised against the program.
