Early on in the game, white had the initiative - lost it and came back to capture the draw. This match will run all night with new beta of modified Crafty that has a new Stein personality. This beta has a modified null move that varies from 1 to 4 depending on the board action. After 4 games, Crafty "Stein" is up 2 - 1 - 1 against Ruffian 1.0.5.
