Wasn't Crafty (one of) the first engines, which >contained a lot about evaluating passed-pawns? Not in a thousand years. What you're remembering is all boasting Robert did when he noticed Crafty knew some things about outside passers or majorities that the then current version of Fritz didn't. I don't think Fritz has ever been a very 'smart engine' (though it's gotten better), compare to others like Rebel, Hiarcs, etc. To extrapolate this to say Crafty has a better pawn evaluation than *any* commercial is ludicrous. -- GCP
