Subject: crafty vs virtualchess2 (round 6)

This game has an interesting position after 36...Kf8.
Here crafty played 37. Bf1 which really strikes me as just plain bad,
especially considering the resulting cage its king finds itself in
later.  But I've looked over the other moves and find it difficult to
suggest something better.  At first, I thought that a move like Bf3 ( in
place of crafty's earlier pawn advances ) might have helped, but that
doesn't seem to work out.  Bf3 to keep the knight at bay, increase the
bishop's scope, and prevent the resulting pin later on.  I really liked
crafty's earlier f4, dumping the pawn to free his bishop and break up
the black pawn structure.  Does anyone have a suggestion?

BTW, I'm amazed that I've never heard of this virtual chess 2 program
before...incredible player.
