I have one question for thorsten....
"whats the point you want to prove?"
If you are trying to say that GT is better then crafty, (as far as strength is
concerned), you can be happy to know that most (probably 90%) people will agree
with you.
there is nothing to prove........GT 'is' better crafty......BIg deal!!
so is fritz, junior, nimzo, shredder, hiarcs........etc.
so there is not need of picking up crafty all the time...
"pick someone of your own size" (maybe fritz6a?)
comparing GT vs crafty is kinda irritating.
pavs. ;)
