I did not compare the code but the point is that a later version should not
perform worse if it is modified correctly.


  IMO, 19.xx is better than 17.xx - no question.  I would agree that
>the issue of 18.xx is better than 17.xx is up for debate.

The question is still open

Crafty17.9 is leading
Crafty19.1 has not a good result.

Crafty17.9 is leading
19.1 is not there but I do not expect 19.1 to be first place after
reading the following link when Crafty19.1 got only 2.5 out of 9.

Number of games is not enough to be sure and it is only fast time
control so I do not claim that 17.xx is better than 19.xx but only
that we have not enough evidence to say that 19.xx is better.
