In general I while I was sleeping you changed the subject! ;-) I use crafty as a tool, mighty stable, mighty powerful and in "some" cases mighty-ou'-of-clue ... Bottom line, crafty is awesome tool and that is why I use it. Set it in analysis mode and make the moves you think are correct while making sure that crafty doesn't rise a red flag (tactics). Do this several times to get a feel of the postition. Then pick one of the variations and let crafty make a few moves on its own, basic sanity check. Then repeat all of the above until happy. Using crafty as low-pass filter you get to concentrate only on the long term stuff ... ;-) Getting back to the original topic.

Matches are useful when trying to determine who's better!? I was just analysing this position. Sorry if I made it sound as if I using a match to analyze. regards. hristo > >Regards Dan Andersson
