This was Crafty 16.6 not Crafty 17.4.

Thanks for calling me a liar... If you look at the game tag it is game 22 of the
same tournament that was played today just hours ago. But I could have seen you
comming with this attack and change the game tag before I posted it so I could
counter your point.....I am very good watch out.

Imagine that... the results back up my opinion and the opinion of the article
which I agreed with.

Obviously I just hate Crafty and so does the author of the article...and I don't
have this opinion because I seen crafty play this way many times.

Thanks James for throwing the light of truth on me.
