Simple answer to wheter Crafty is commercial is simple.. Does the author MAKE ANY MONEY OFF IT? I don't belive so. Does Chessbase? The chessbase version is released FREE OF CHARGE from the Chessbase webpage. Now, IMO Gromit is NOT a NON commercial engine, since the most current publicly available version is ONLY available from teh young talents cd. This makes it commercial. GOliath Light 1.5 is free. Crafty is free. On the other hand, is Crafty an Amateur product? I am not sure it really should be in that catagory simply due to its qualtiy. I am sure Dr. Hyatt is a little above the avg amatuer :) AHhh my head hurts.
