I hope, that Crafty finally shows it's class - probably it betters >from London 2000 14/16 position at least... I have not looked at the game in any detail yet. But one potential issue that is _always_ present is that I have very carefully tuned this program to avoid the traditionally "drawn" type positions with pawns blocked. Which is, I believe, a good strategy against humans. But against computers, it can cause it to lose games it should actually draw. At some point, I will probably make this a "computer" option so that against computers it gets turned way down, while against humans it stays active. But for the moment, it is playing with _exactly_ the same code as is used on ICC (version 18.10) and may well be haunted by this again... If this was the problem, of course...
