This may be true but Crafty is only Crafty when it is using it's own book!
ChessMaster has a pitiful book also.  If Bob want's to improve Crafty then he
should improve his book or ask someone to do it for him.  Crafty should have
it's owm "Official" book to play with.  Of course that should be whatever Bob
says it is.  Just my opinion.
