This is the game I was mentioning earlier. The game was started in Winboard, Comet-Crafty (most recent versions) for the first 17 moves, and when it was clear that they were both out of their opening books, I then switch to 30 minutes per move for each program, Comet doing it from the Dos interface (back in Windoze ME's version of Dos to get more consistant hash sizes) and Crafty doing it in it's text mode. Takes a lot of rebooting. I'm not considering this as a measure of either program's strength at all, and I don't know how fair the game is. It's just a fwiw game, fun to run it. So, anyhow, this is the game up till this point, Crafty makes the next move. The tactics of the last several moves have been more intersting (to me that is) than they were when the 2 programs were fighting for the C file. Crafty has rather consistantly searched deeper. I suppose when the whole thing is done it might be interesting to feed each position to the opposite programs and see what different moves they would have made in the other program's place.
