Yes, very impressive indeed!

Is it possible for me to point a few things out without being taken as I am
"lessening" Crafty's great result?

Only small sidepoint I'd like to make is that Blargh uses Shredder 8 UCI with
ChessPartner -- and obviously this does not provide for a native book.  I will
ask him which book was being used during those matches, but I'd imagine it is
Sjeng.bk.

I am not suggesting this configuration to be stronger or weaker than Shredder 8
"out of the box" in its native GUI -- just pointing out the differences before
folks compare this experiment to SSDF results.

Again, wonderful result for Crafty!
