I can't promise not to use ponder off, but this is due to my hardware. However, I'll promise that I won't bother you with statements like: Crafty isn't that strong with ponder off :o). >I think a lot of the 'testing' is all about trying to prove that Crafty can't >play chess. IE you start out with a conclusion, then you try to find a way to >make that conclusion happen... I didn't think that at first, but when information like the exclusion of learning and the selectivity of results starts to appear, I'm getting suspicious too. Sincerely, Mogens
