I haven't tried Uri's position but there are several testsets which emphazise
deep tactics and Crafty usually has a hard time with them. BS-2930 and the
"CSS-WM-test" come to mind. I used to let Crafty run a lot over night on a
powerful computer and saw it missing deep tactics, too, other programs get (
although I haven't got the logfiles anymore).

But I'll better leave this as an opinion - I don't have the time to prove ;-)
