Reason: Hyatt is the only person who knows the most about his creation - so if he fixes something he most of the time knows the best what he is fixing and why. Most of the new releases fix bugs from previous versions. But there are two points to remember (everyone of us should): 1. Hyatt's object is to make Crafty play strong chess against human opponent, other programs don't have the first priority. 2. Crafty has been and still is an experimental project. It means that there is no _final_ release. There are new releases which maybe fix bugs and maybe introduce a new feature which either works or not. Severi
