Oh well Fritz searching 13 ply extending lots of checks and doing
checks in qsearch against crafty with crafty a king nearly mated and
searching 12 to 13 ply without doing checks in qsearch. Note that
fritz has also a lot of threat extensions.

Crafty repeated exactly the same line as against Nimzo. Very dumb.

So it was dead lost from all sides.

Play 100 games crafty here against DIEP, Fritz, Nimzo, Zchess, SOS,
Shredder or anything that is doing either a lot of checks or doing
checks in qsearch. Bye Bye crafty. Crafty in Najdorf is a zero in advance
at icc it basically plays e6 d6 systems. NOT aggressive najdorf systems.

So selecting this opening is stupid in advance anyway, like i discovered
with DIEP in Caro-Kann.
