Below is the first game.  I should add that I had introduced a major programming
error in Crafty's time.c (Bob's source is ok) that is only readily apparent at
long time controls.  The symptom was that (modified) Crafty was finishing the
first TC (40/2) with over an hour left on the clock over and over again.  That
in itself may not be bad, but it was losing almost all of its games too.  Time.c
was code that I had modified and the error is NOT in Bob’s original time.c code.
 I fixed that last night and below is the first game of the new tounrey.
Modified Crafty finished the first time.c with about a half hour and in this
type of game (drawish, with no major fail lows) that was acceptable.

I will be sending a new  modified Crafty 19.01a to those on my distribution
list.  If you are interested please email me at mfbyrne_pa@msn.com for a free
copy.
