I Do know that Crafty 18.10 at 12 Ply "Smoked" Fritz 6 at 12Ply Fritz using tops
a minute and crafty as much as 30minutes

Not all Ply is equal that's for sure it makes the comparison much more difficult
too.

If everybody here took their programs and ran the Test Suite "Test Your
Positional Play" They would see that programs do Not understand everything and
Fritz good tactically will probably take hours to solve some of the problems.
