Note that in case that the programs are equal Crafty16.19 had less than 25% chances to score more than Crafty19.12(there are also chances that programs score the same number of points) I tended to believe after first results that Crafty16.19 was simply lucky after your first rating list(the second alternative is that Hyatt did not make progress for many years in Crafty in comp-comp games) but now I tend to believe that 16.19 is simply better(at least in the conditions that you tested).\ 20 games are clearly not enough to decide which program is better but I also know that it is not the only 20 games that 16.19 got better results in your games. It may be interesting to know nodes per seconds for different crafties in your machine and compare it with faster hardware(maybe your Celeron likes more 16.19 relative to fast hardware). I mean to say that it is possible that some additional knowledge in Crafty does it significantly slower in nodes per second for Celeron 1ghz and only slightly slower in nodes per second for faster hardware.
