That's another important point. Use slow hardware! Sorry, but I forgot that
advice.
BTW: Crafty6.4 was better than Crafty7.x in a specialtournament, thats why I
recommanded it.
Poor SSDF, they use Crafty18.12!! Perhaps they had no CB version of at least
Crafty16.20.

We all remember old Genius beating Garry Kaparov on a Pentium 90.
So the way to go is obvious:
Use old programs on slow hardware!
