Once I finish this (in next version) perhaps that will be a good time to finally incorporate your "personality" stuff into Crafty. I'm not sure whether you twiddle with eval terms or not, but this will make it possible. I do believe you fiddle with piece values so I will make those memory variables rather than constants, as well... I'm doing this as part of something Cozzie and I are working on, but I won't say more since it is his idea...

On a less positive note, I will no longer be able to offer a PGO version >(AMD) for Crafty as I lost Intel 7 with my computer failure. My current Crafty >19.13 (no SE) is about 20% faster than Slater's SEE2 version and 5% faster than >Skinner's on my specific P4 1.7 Ghz Xeon processor. YMMV.
