For both Crafty 14.3 and GNU 4.0 pl77, the default settings were used with the exception that: 1) time control was 60 / 5 2) no thinking on opponent's time Despite this, GNU crushed Crafty 14.3 in the trivial one-game sample. The reason I did not test more is that I wanted to test and develop another program. --Stuart
