IE over the past 3 years I have occasionally tried CB vs Crafty... and when the result was far worse for Crafty than I had hoped, I would try CB vs one of a couple of commercial programs I have. IE Rebel 8 and genius 4. And they both lost horribly just as crafty did. Unfortunately I can't play slower games on the cray... but to offset that I did give a significant handicap by using only one cpu out of 32 for CB, and playing 5 secs/move for CB and the opponent. The program is *very* strong... even on one CPU. Larry Kaufman played us a one-game handicap match like this at the Indy ACM event... because I had been talking about a big handicap match between CB and my Mach III from Fidelity. We went at it 1 sec for CB (using an 8 processor Cray YMP, about like one T90 cpu today) and 60 seconds per move for Socrates on a (I believe 486/100 or something similar, a hot notebook at the time). He was skeptical that we would win. Not only did CB win, it won with some crushing tactics...
