Crafty is very strong at standard time control. May I add my opinion that these adversaries have different styles of play. Chess players love Tiger not only for its strength but also for its astonishing "human" style- Tiger makes the kind of moves one easily understands. Crafty is another thing, it likes positions that human players don't naturally like. Crafty makes a lot of what one calls computer moves, although in this case the moves merit consideration- I think one can really learn a lot of chess strategy studying Crafty's games at long time controls, the longer the best. > >[Event "Frank J.

In 2th edition of ECO, Karpov says that 14.Ne3?! is inferior due to "14...g5 15.Bf2 d5 16.cd5 ed5 17.Nf5 Bxf5 18.exf5 Nc4 and Black stands slightly better, Thorhallson-Comas, Arnhem 1988/89". Exactly like current game! What happens? Is Chess Tiger playing with a new opening book?
