Crafty is not cannon-fodder for _any_ program in the world given equal hardware.
 This was a very good result for Ruffian, as the margin of error now appears to
be diminishing.  Again, Ruffian's 63% against the latest, tactically very aware,
Crafty, is simply excellent.

My own tests with ver. 19.8 inidicate a slightly bigger margin, +108, after more
than 300 games (under Winboard too), but then I had the games played on a very
fast machine which might have caused the difference.
