Can you explain what is the big change between 17.13 and 17.11
I saw almost no change in the results.

The results were:
Gandalf432_f-Crafty17.11 7.5-6.5.
Gandalf_432f-Crafty17.13 12-12

I do not see indication that the latest nalimov build made a big difference
based on the results so I do not understand the vicious and mean remark.
