If you give Crafty 5 minutes or 15 minutes, you won't notice much difference, it will kick your ass ;). There are better programs when you want to set differenct "intelligence" levels(possibilities in Crafty are very technical). You could try Delfi (http://www.sira.it/msb/delfi.htm) which has easy possiblities for setting different strengths or also Bringer (http://www.reubold.onlinehome.de) >-I have downloaded the tablebases but I don´t know how to run them.

It will probably answer all your questions. Regards, Peter
