Bob,
   Could you show Crafty plan against ...g6 instead of Bf2+.  I don't
see any tactical justification for Crafty to sac his queen for the
knight on g5, nor does any other program I have tried it on.  I fully
applaud Crafty's human-like decision not to castle into an attack.  I
thought Crafty wasn't too knowledge based, I guess 1000's of games vs
GM's and IM's on ICC and FICS has let you tune crafty to sense an attack
on his king :-)  Please, continue your analysis on o-o Qe4 line.
Thanks.

Robert Sherman
