Your score is 7-8 points different from all the commercial >programs that I have seen. I am re-running this and will post the results soon. A couple of points, however... 1. I do *not* have king-safety terms that cause a +/- 7 pawn swing. :) 2. I might have posted bogus analysis. I get hung up with position learning about once per month. While annotating, position learning is disabled, but I played around with this game before doing the annotate, and it is highly likely that Crafty "learned" something along the way that screwed the scores up at this point in the game. I will post a new annotated game in a few mins to see how it looks after the position.bin file has been deleted from my notebook...
