Yes, Crafty is number 4, which I overlooked. Sorry!
But I didn't overlook the comercial list. But that was very few games, which is
good, but says very little. But you can't just bungle all the amatuer programs
together with it to make CM8K to look so great overall. It's nowhere near the
same category as tests against recent comercial programs.
