I am not surprised if it beated crafty. I believe that crafty is one of the programs that did not do significant improvement from 1997. I am also not surprised from the fact that it sacrificed material because I know that chessmaster always liked to do it. I am more surprised from the fact that it beated a couple of the tigers but tiger is not the best program of today and maybe it was lucky to play an opening that tiger does not like. I guess that the best programs of today(Shredder7.04,Fritz8,Junior8,chessmaster9000) can get more than 50% against chessmaster5000 in case that they get hardware that is 3 time slower. Uri
