I just think Crafty was outclassed I don’t believe the >Crafty engine is as strong as Tiger 12.0 at 5:00 mins. I guess that it may be dependent also on the hardware. cel433 is not a fast hardware and on better hardware Crafty can play better at 5:00 minutes. Crafty at ICC is not tested at 5:00 minutes on celeron and your 5 minutes games are not eqvivalent to blitz games but to bullet games (I guess something between 1 and 2 minutes per game). Uri
