PS. I can easily say something "bad" about Crafty without getting moderated.

It is difficult to read Crafty's code since it consists of 1.6M with most of the
comments being at procedure or section levels with few comments explaining why
something is done the way it is (e.g. variable = 1;, why?). Also, a lot of the
procedures in Crafty are more than a page long and the code is compressed
vertically (i.e. no vertical white space, making the code more difficult to
read).

See, easy to do. And, people can disagree with this assessment since the reasons
for the opinion are given. But, saying that Crafty plays lousy chess when it
obviously does not is just plain lousy. Can you beat Crafty on a regular basis?
