That is also the view I support. But it is not difficult to understand an
aspiring chess programmer's ambition to test his progress against the best
commercial engines. Especially without knowing the history.

BTW, could one imagine that the Chessbase people would create a Crafty UCI
engine from the available source code? Much in the same manner as the current
native version.

Secondly, I feel obligated :-) to bug you about the lack of an 18.13 executable
at your ftpsite. Or is there a chance of adjustments being made after the CCT4
tournament is over?
