If its opponent plays 1... c5 then what? Against computers, crafty will not play 1. e4 normally. It usually opens with 1. d4, although I will not make any promises for anything for the WCCC coming up. :) So, in a normal game, my second move will probably be dxc5 or else e3 or Nf3. Because my first move was d4. :)
