It was intended to verify a specific claim made by vincent. It certainly is related to computer chess since Crafty is a computer chess program. Vincent made the claim here more than once and I challenged him on it. If it isn't on topic, then none of the GM vs computer matches have been "on topic" either, nor has discussing similar things... If vincent is "embarassed" he has only himself to blame. _he_ made the ridiculous claim... I just challenged him on it since it is one of the few times where an outrageous claim by him can be directly proven false by simply playing some games on a chess server. >Certainly, Vince seems to have invited this sort of thing upon himself with >questionable posts of his own, but I don't think that means everybody is thereby >entitled to likewise to Vince.

They do their own analysis. However, this is just as much "on topic" as all the "Nemeth beat fritz" discussions except that this is a much easier claim to bust...
