After 200 games +74 =65 -61  53.2%

From what I have read, previous versions of Crafty and Yace were pretty close.
So maybe Crafty 18.12 does have a very slight edge over 18.11. Maybe the fact
that I am using the K7 optimised version of Crafty on an AMD Athlon makes a
difference. Perhaps it needs more games. I did mean to go to 500 but I am now
more interested in how Yace 0.99.56 performs against Crafty 18.12 and other
engines.
