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.
Do you think that white are worst in this position?!
