Crafty's is not bad.  This is a classic trade-off issue.  It could easily be
made more
accurate.  IE not using absolute-pinned pieces and so forth.  But the question
becomes,
does the cost of the extra accuracy result in tree sizes that are small enough
that the
savings offsets the added computational cost...

It's easy to make it more accurate.  But the question is, "is it worth it?"
