This might have been 10-20 year's ago standard. As is, this was a terribly
interesting post for me, maybe not for you though.

I couldn't care less about Crafty as a human player, it's just too strong.

Robin looks like a cool engine though - that Rzeznik is too strong I knew
anyway.

And the games were pretty inspiring too . Did anyone else have a look at them ?

Other than WCCC or SSDF, the real tough job, at least for anyone who cares, is
to provide something that might be interesting for a 1800 or a 2000 player.
Targetting the 2500 players might be a too narrow road.

That computers at their best can beat 2000 players is old news, agreed.
