I have asked about the set up. As for opening book it is Nunn 1
there is no opening book.

No doubt, but as I have stated I do not believe on
any computer with ponder=off that Crafty 17-10 can beat
Fritz 6a at Nunn 1.

While I would agree that any computer program can beat any
other program over a 20 game match. IMO from the Nunn 1 positions
Crafty will not beat Fritz 6a.

That is to say any equal time control and equal hash settings.

Thanks.
