No it wasn't "designed" that way. It just happens to be that way. :) >Is this program supposed to be great vs humans instead? > It is certainly tailored to playing humans more. That is what I mainly study with it. >What is so great about it? >I notice its ply count is low aswell, compared to say Juniors, >is that because Craft has a more 'true' ply search? Junior doesn't do "plies". So you can't compare them. In fact, you should not compare plies between programs, just how quickly they find the right move in a given position. Chessmaster always reports very low plies but is very strong. Junior reports very large ply numbers and it is also very strong. Comparing plies wouls suggest Junior is far stronger. It isn't. > >questions questions questions
