If you do choose >to respond, a simple yes or no answer would suffice. Crafty just won an internet contest against all of these. Crafty is designed for SMP machines and with pondering on. Under those conditions, it is as good or better than any program in the world. It would take extensive testing to see how it would fare against the world's best programs (like the above list) at 40/2. I suspect it would be competitive even on a uniprocessor. Some tests at 40/2 against other freely available Winboard engines seem to indicate that it is the toughest dog in that town. There is no question that it is the strongest program in the world for which the source code is publicly available, at the present time.
