I only thought that as an outside observer I would be pretty impartial in the matter and could put perspective on what the matter is all about, so here goes: DON'T PLAY HYATT'S CRAFTY ACCOUNT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He doesn't want it, and prefers this account to be used for something else, which is his perfect right and if you so badly need to play a crafty which is two or three times faster than your account - I suggest you install crafty (which is free with source and exec ported to a lot of platforms) on a fast computer and your own on a slow computer and watch the outcome. There is a lot of different ways to investigate crafty which should make it completely unneccesary to play against this one account. Get the execs and install them in different kinds of configurations and then play them, look at the source or play one of the tens of other crafty accounts. It is not rational to go on like this about it if your motives are not something else than just seing how your program does against crafty. Best regards Andreas Stabel
