       Hi Peter
       It's fine to have a Crafty expert like you. I appreciate
       your help very much. I have already a second question:
       I thought Crafty would after 1.e4 never play 1...c5
       (Robert Hyatt posted this some days ago I think) but
       please have a look at the following

[Event "Computer chess game"]
[Site "P4 1800"]
[Date "2004.05.30"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Utzinger"]
[Black "Wcrafty_1913"]
[Result "*"]
[ECO "B44"]
[Opening "Sicilian Defence"]
[Time "12:17:09"]
[Variation "Anderssen Variation"]
[WhiteElo "2350"]
[TimeControl "40/2400:40/2400:2400"]
[Termination "unterminated"]
[PlyCount "10"]
[WhiteType "human"]
[BlackType "program"]

1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nc6 5.Nb3 Nf6 {(5. ... Nf6 6. Bd3 Be7 7. O-O
O-O 8. Nc3 d5 9. exd5 Nxd5 10. Bd2 Nxc3 11. Bxc3 Bd7) 0.18/11 50}  *

     What am I doing wrong here?
     Kind regards
     Kurt
