Tinker does better against humans, but primarily for blitz. Some humans 200 points below Tinker seem to have a pretty easy time locking it up and beating it in bullet, and of course at standard times positional weaknesses show up. Some of this may be due to still having no book (e.g., taking too much time for bullet openings and going down poor lines in standard). I have yet to find the right combination of if(!computer...) eval and search options, and have so far tried various blocked pawn and open file schemes with little success. I suspect Crafty's 100 point difference is smaller in the rarified space of the very strongest players (both computer and human) where Crafty usually plays, and that the difference would be significantly greater for programs in the 2200-2600 range.
