I have a different opinion Crafty has 6 versions in the top 14 free programs in blitz see http://www.digichess.gr/infiniteloop/ratings/IL3b_rate.txt I do not see Crafty as a better tournament player. Worst Crafty is better than best Comet in blitz based on the blitz list when in tournament time control things are different and there are tournaments when Comet can get better result than Crafty inspite of the fact that a lot of games are played see http://wbec-ridderkerk.nl/html/his2ndedition.html It appears to me that Crafty has >become better at longer time controls and worse at short time controls in the >last few years. The only info I have on Crafty is for Crafty 18.13 which scored >101 out of 278 games at G/5min vs various top programs in my blitz database.

I don't own a dual. >Jim I think that the reason for your result is simply the fact that Crafty is weaker than the top programs and not that it is better at tournament time control. I have no proof that Crafty is relatively better than other programs at tournament time control(comparing with Comet suggest the opposite). Uri
