But isn't 200 * 0 = zero? ;-) Getting back to my equally illogical theory, the CB boys have 3 serious contenders. Only one, Crafty, will have the hardware to pull off an upset. They have checked all the versions of crafty and aside from a new untested version 19/.15 that may be buggy, the one they fear the most is 18.12. Otherwise why did SSDF suddenly match it with Shredder8?
