My point is: Why Crafty Vs Yace and not Crafty Vs Fritz or Gandalf?

I have read all you proposal but your objetive seems to be pretty different to
my specified point.

I read all your idea that is valuable but you should have to run against the
other engines.

The objetive is to show that an Engine is doing better with book and not without
book that it is being sold in this Forum as the Law of the Physics.

Tell me, if your time is 2 minutes how can I conclude that the data is reliable
with lightning chess?

In this point, I must be pretty obstinate because I don“t see how you can show
this.

Regards, Arturo and it is very intereting this debate. :)
