Deep Thought easily beat Cray Blitz every time we played (except for the first, where we could have won had we not run into a serious bug). Cray Blitz waxed Crafty in a 10 game match last year. That means _you_ should be able to wax crafty on my quad xeon easily if you could crush deep thought. Let me know when you are ready to "take the test". I don't believe you can do it for a minute... But the ball is in your court to accept the challenge...
