Movei has today a very simple evaluation and it beat at least half of the amateurs. I guess that the number of amateurs with more complex evaluation than Crafty is less than 50 and there are more than 150 amateurs. I even believe that the quality of the evaluation of crafty is not worse than the quality of the evaluation of part of the commercial programs. It is known that crafty's strong point is not tactics(for example it does not do checks in the qsearch) and if crafty can be only sligthly weaker than commercial programs then it is logical to suspect that the reason is tactics and not evaluation.
