>Own Books? >Hashtables? >TBs? Each engine used its own book. Ruffian Leiden used the Leiden book and Crafty the book that has been available for years on Professor Hyatt's site. I think I may change that soon because Dann Corbit compiled a narrow tournament book and the latest Crafty site has a newer and better (?) book. I mean, Professor Hyatt just had Crafty eat some pgn and spit out a book for goodness sake. Surely Crafty deserves a crafted book... (that was just awful). Hash was 50 Mb each (or as near as I could get considering that Crafty goes up in steps so hash was 48 Mb). All 4 man egtbs. Your view that this result is not a good one for Crafty misses the point of what this post was about. I was not trying to eastablish any other point but this: Crafty is *not* mincemeat for Ruffian. The context of that remark is to be found in postings some time ago which suggested that in a match between Crafty and this version of Ruffian that Crafty would be crushed. My *very* limited match on my slow, outdated but beloved piece of hardware seems to indicate that caution is indicated before making such an assertion. I just wanted to save some people some money because Professor Hyatt was looking for some easy cash and he wanted some takers for that bet...... :-) Thanks for reading the post. Later.
