This is good, you will have a lot of fun (hope so)! OK, OK ... we have x other interesting programs, AnMon for an example. Not so strong but a fantastic program (in 640 games 18.4% remis games), many short losesd and short win games. 2.447 ELO (if Crafty have 2.500) with longer time controls. My favorite program ... Best Frank
