Subject: crafty question.

mainly to Bob,
but anyones else's help is appreciated.
I am worried about crafty's speed. I think in a single processor, the only thing
that pulls it behind the commercial programs, is the speed. In a certain
position in my hardware when a commercial program has 13 depths or atleast sees
deeper in less time, on the other hand crafty takes "comparably" longer time to
see the same position or better position. I am comparing between the chessbase
programs (junior, fritz) and crafty (as a chessbase native program).
not many people has a multi processor. So I am wondering if is it possible to
maintain the same quality of game but with better speed? which is also my main
question.
many people in this forum come up with blitz matches (5 min mainly) between
crafty and chessbase products, and claims that "this" program is far better than
crafty. but they dont understand that crafty (most of the time) loses mainly coz
of speed. at least IMO.
thanks guys

ps, no I am not a expert programmer, but I am learning everyday so If I say
anything stupid pls. forgive me or be understandable. ;)
and also no trools pls. no fight .
just need a straight forward answer with explanations if possible. I hate
trools.
