I don't see why Crafty should be the clear favourite here. When I look at the SSDF list, I see the following ratings: Junior 8.0 256MB Athlon 1200 MHz 2784 Crafty 18.12/CB 256MB Athlon 1200 MHz 2615 So there's a rating difference of 169 points. A factor of 10 is slightly more than 3 times doubling and if we use 70 points for each doubling (which is the upper limit in my opinion) we get the difference (3*70)-169=41 points. In a match where the first one to reach 6 wins is the winner, that's hardly "clear favourite". It's more like using a dice to decide something. Or am I missing something? Sargon
