The main reason that it is not comperable is that chessfun used the nunn match
and it is possible that crafty does nt like the nunn positions.

I suspect that the nunn positions are positions that many programs do not
understand and in this case the better tactical program has an advantage and
positional knowledge cannot help at long time control when it can help in
regular games.

I am not sure about it.
