I have analyzed gnuchess pretty thoroughly and I think that it is very fast and utilizes most advanced search techniques (Null move, PVS, etc...). Though I have only recently begun to look at Crafty, it looks to me like a *lot* of time has been spent on making the evaluation very strong. While we're at it, Crafty is 1000 times more readable than the source code mess that is gnuchess :)
