From Crafty. 8: computer policy: no more than 4 blitz or 2 standard games by any one program in Crafty's 20-game history here. 9: I do not expect to see games vs 6 different chess tiger clones. It is your responsibility to know/find out the name of the program that others use to avoid falling into this trap. The last opponent gets +noplayed. Though since there are at MOST three accounts on ICC using the beta Tiger's I assume that the operators are not checking all Crafty's opponents and making sure you have only played 4 other Tiger's in a row?.
