A 40 games blitz match Gothmog 0.45-Crafty 19.06 (Dann Corbit) ended
16,5:23,5 (+12 =9 -19)

Gothmog without tablebase support since it does not work if the tablebases are
located on a different harddisk.

timecontrol 3 min without increment; AMD 1.6Ghz; CB-GUI; Fritz8.ctg book, both
engines have to play each position with black and white; 64 MB hash; 3,4,5 men
tablebases for Crafty

In a second Blitz match on AMD 1.8 Ghz Gothmog has tablebase support.
The results are clearly worse nevertheless.

18:8 in favour of Crafty 19.06; time control is 5 min + 3 sec

Crafty 19.06 DC performed much better than Crafty 19.08 DC in Blitz on my
machines, so I will continue to use it.
