I guess that your modified Crafty likes sacrifice too much and can find also
wrong sacrifices.

It does not see the big problem with 2.Nxe6

I guess that if you push the position forward it will see that the position
after 2.Nxe6 Qa5 3.Bxd7+ Kxd7 4. Nec5 Ke8 5. Qd7+ Kf7 6. Nxb7 Rc7 is bad for
white and 7.Nd6+ Kg7 8.Qe6 Bf6 is good for black.
