I love Crafty and believe that Bob Hyatt has done great work with Crafty and
Cray Blitz.  But Crafty on a dual would not top the SSDF list.  Think about it
for a second - Crafty has for years been open source .  The top commercial
programmers for years have NOT made their source public.  So any CHESS
programmer worth his salt should be able to make their chess program BETTER than
Crafty.  But Crafty today is still one of the top free programs available and
perhaps the top free program with open source.  Of course, you give crafty a
sufficient hardware avantage, it could top any list.
