Cray Blitz is the antecedent to crafty. It ran on a Cray computer and written in assembler. It won a tournaments some 15 years ago. Its games are in the icca journal. Hyatt was the principle designer. I think a tournament between any of the great computers of 15 years ago and today’s top computers would be very interesting. Hyatt said Cray blitz could beat all PC computers. I think Deep Junior would beat any computer from 15 years ago. I guess if you had access to a Cray, you could run Cray Blitz.
