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, Chris Carson
