My Fritz6 is not capable of doing this to Crafty. In fact, Fritz6 has a roughly
even score with Crafty 17.4 in the testing I have done. And I've got games to
back it up.

Also, I have looked at _hundreds_ of Crafty games, and _none_ look as bad as
that one. You just had incredible luck, or, (as I suspect) you looked at a bit
more games than you let on to find that one. It is just too convenient that, on
your first try, you come across that game to beautifully illustrate your
Crafty-has-bad-mobility-scoring point.
