My Crafty is able to do something no other crafty is able to do -- it can solve the Nolot position 6 in less then a second! How was the feat accomplished you might ask.. Well it is rather simple and anyone with crafty can make their crafty solve this position in less then a second or any other position as well... Simply create a text file that contains the following; ponder off setb rnbqk2r/1p3ppp/8/1ppPp3/QPP1P1n1/P4N2/4KbPP/R1B2B1R w - - store -1 exit Then run the command crafty < textfile Then you can start up crafty and enter in the Nolot position 6 rnbqk2r/1p3ppp/p7/1NpPp3/QPP1P1n1/P4N2/4KbPP/R1B2B1R b - - and run analyze or go and presto -- it will return the axb5 move everytime. This can be accomplished with any test move and if I wanted to take it a step further I could hard code test positions into the crafty program. Common sense here would show that test positions that are published such as your favorite WM test, show nothing as to the strength of the engine.
