Dann,

How long did you let Crafty search each position?

Also, I have some questions about how you post search results:

What are acs, acd, acn?

I assume ce is centipawn-evaluation, and I assume the large number at the
beginning is # of nodes searched, though I don't understand the reason for the
negative sign.
