I have noticed that w/o >a book crafty tends to lose matches but this is its worse beating to date. I do not see the points of matches with no book. Even if you want to test general knowledge it is better to use the nunn match or something similiar. Playing a match from the opening position with no book can cause programs to repeat almost the same game again and again and give you no information about the question which program is better. Even if the games are not almost the same repeating the same opening line can be enough for result that give almost no information about the strength of the programs. Uri
