I'm not sure what you mean by links(web links? I don't have any) - set the log
to on and you will see the new command being sent with every move.  If crafty
receives the "new" command with every move, it will not perform as well as if
did does not receive the "new" command.  The "new" command for crafty resets
everything as if is starting a "new" game.  I probably error is using the word
"dramtically" , let's just it is sub-optimal as compared to Crafty playing in a
pure "winboard" mode (not available in Chess GUI).  It may be true that for a
specific machine, this weakened Crafty may still play stronger than the
Chessbase native Crafty - YMMV.

This is not an issue in Arena as the as the adapter does not send the "new"
command under the Arena GUI.
