In some cases the CAP data has problems. IE it will convince any program to follow the qc7 line in the Rebel game because it looks good for black when it isn't... The problem there was that Graham and I put this together way too quickly. I have a better book that he is hopefully using for the last few rounds. But we simply didn't have any time to even verify that the program is running correctly on the alpha. Everything happened too quickly as I only found out I could enter crafty without going about 2 weeks prior to the event... In these events, opening preparation is nearly as important as engine preparation, and I generally take care of this just fine. There just wasn't time this time... due to too late a start.
