I can't agree with this... I think Crafty is worth a lot to most of us, but the
thing is if we would buy it... To buy a computer chess program, I look for a
nice interface and fancy options like telling you which opening you're playing..
things like that.. I like Crafty for other reasons... but I wouldn't buy none of
them... why ?... simply I don't use computer chess programs that much.. I only
bougth Chessmaster 3000 and It's the only one I sometimes reinstall to play a
bit with it... and I bought it because I loved the personalities idea...
