It seems that Nimzovich and Standard have excellent results against
non-Crafties, in both tournies.
Myself run your Crafty using crafty.rc and with Chessbase adapter, and can't get
that good results. Perhaps it is because of the adapter I use? Anyway are you
sure you sent the right wcrafty.exe and that in your machine Crafty uses only
one cpu?
