Pretty sad that you express such desires for a match - I used to think that crafty is not exactly that bad ! 100:1 / knight piece up / atleast 2x speedup and yet only neck to neck ?! (refered to in other post) - looking for other advantages to take care of program deficiencies ?! I'm sure crafty can handle better than this ! AND , no comments on this US vs Europe/ICGA discussions :) Mridul <snip> >
