Terry used Crafty as an engine for Hiarcs or another program in engine-engine games. I guess that old versions of crafty lost on time because chessbase made them wrong. Crafty17.11 as a chessbase product won one engine-engine tournament of mark young with 9 out of 14 and no losses(time control 60 minutes per game+1 second per move). > >It would lose hundreds of thousands of rating points at the icc server >if you could forfeit it easily. > >WHAT at your system measured it forfeited? > >winboard? >auto232 player? >the clock of the opponent? so if i print out: "my opponent forfeited!" > then i get a point for free? Terry used chessbase and chessbase interface tells if one program lost on time. The games are with no pondering but this is probably not the problem because mark young's tournament was also without pondering and the problem is that crafty is not good at blitz. Junior and nimzo can often lose games on time in 5 minutes blitz when my experience is that Hiarcs and the new Crafty as chessbase engine cannot lose games on time. Uri
