Crafty needs several things.

1.  Better evaluation tuning.  I simply have not invested the time in this to
optimize the scoring well enough.

2.  No forward pruning except for null-move and futility.  I haven't given this
aspect a lot of thought as I have been more interested in the parallel
programming issues.

3.  Better evaluation, period.  It knows a lot about chess.  And particularly
about endings.  There is still much to do here and I add things as I have time
and see a problem.
