The "newer" as Crafty have a "search certain number of nodes" feature that can be set in the crafty.rc file. by using the "sn ###" command, where ### is the number of nodes you want crafty to search. Altough I haven't played rated chess in years, I believe my rating is somewhere between 1600 and 1700. I have found that using the "sn" command useful. I'm not sure what number of nodes equal what elo - but if you're rated near the 1600 range - I would start around 500 nodes or "sn 500" in your crafty.rc file and go up from there. It will still pounce on the slightest mistake --so it's very good for tacital training. The only downside is that it moves instantaneously - which is not very realistic like. Perhaps I can write a "response delay" feature that would delay Crafty's repsonse but not perform any additional pondering that could be also be set in the crafty.rc file.
