This is not a knock on Crafty or Dr. Hyatt.  Crafty is a good program and Dr.
Hyatt has done a good job with it.  :)

I wonder how Crafty could be tuned to play against GM's at 40/2 when almost all
the games that I know about for v17.x are from the chess servers against a
variety of people (or programs) at fast time controls (< 30 min/game).  If there
is a way to tune against GM's at 40/2 (let alone other programs), I am very
interested to know how to do it.

If it is tuned to play against GM's, I would love to see some matches like the
one's Rebel, Junior, Fritz have done recently.

Again, I think Crafty is a good program.  Is is possible it is tuned to play at
faster time controls against players on the server that have not been "noplay"?
I had read a lot recently that it was tuned for longer time controls, I just do
not understand how.

Just a question, no hidden meaning here at all.

Best Regards,
