I echo the congratualtionss - a well deserved win after many many years of
bringing much computer chess enjoyment to many many people throughout the world.

In celebration of Bob's fine victory in CCT 6 - I will soon be releasing Crafty
19.10 SE - with his original Crafty 19.10 CCT 6 code as well as the many
different SE options including 40 different pre-defined personalities, delay
move etc and special null move code to find correct moves in certain zugzwang
positions, more aggressive time usage early etc.  All of the special code is
activated by simply typing "SE=on" in the crafty.rc file or setting it a
parameter inthe GUI (if you run Crafty in Arena/Fritz with UCI adpater.

Remember if using Arena as a UCI engine (w.adapter) you must set the command
"arena on" either through the GUI or the crafty,rc file.  This enables correct
time search if time per move is selected and avoids the 3 fold  repetition hang
in Arena casued by Crafty claiming draw before making the move -( which is
correct - but it confuses the Arena GUI) and the GUI will then forfeit the game
to the opponent (as a win and a loss for Crafty).

Again - Congratulatins to Bob Hyatt and many many thanks for sharing Crafty with
all of us.
