   The question was tricky! If Crafty was sold for 100$ would you buy it? I
answered no! I just bought Fritz for $200 and as a student, it is the more I
could afford for a long time to come! The answer would have been NO for any
program (Rebel 9 ro 10, MChess 6 or 7 or anyother program in that price range)!
That is the first expensive chess program I buy in a few years! Of course, if I
was earning a BIG salary every week, that would have been another story! I
cannot buy any interesting chess program that comes on the market, though I
would like : got bills to pay... :(
