I also think that Crafty should be invited and use the best hardware that it can use and if it means that Crafty has an hardware advantage because of the alpha relative to the commercial it should have an hardware advantage(every program should get the best hardware that it can use) I also think that every SMP should be invited because you cannot be sure that a program is not strong enough before testing but only after testing and the fact that a program was not strong enough in the past does not prove that it is not strong enough today.
