I never expected what came >next :) I think phalanx still has some fight in it yet. I see no reason to be surprised. The difference between phalnex and Crafty is probably less than 100 elo and when the difference between the programs is less than 100 elo every result is possible see http://wbec-ridderkerk.nl/html/his2ndedition.html phanlex beated crafty 3-1 in that tournament see http://wbec-ridderkerk.nl/index.html Crafty 2480 Phalanx 2404 see http://www.digichess.gr/infiniteloop/en/blitz_rating_2.txt Crafty17.9 2569 Crafty18.15 2485 Phalanx 2454 Crafty18.13 2413 There is no evidence that new crafty is better than old crafty in comp-comp games so the fact that Crafty is newer is not an advantage.
