But picking a favorite at the moment is way premature. Crafty's only advantage is that it has already drawn Shredder, which is the program that I consider the strongest player there. But it still has to deal with Junior tomorrow, and eventually Fritz and the rest. While it is playing well in my local testing, and at the WCCC, anything can happen. It could win, or it could still finish at the bottom. I'm just sitting back, watching, and letting Peter do his thing and deal with all the pressure. :) He was a bit unhappy with today's opening that looked very drawish, but Crafty played a decent endgame and it turned out to be a good choice using hindsight. Tomorrow will likely be an interesting game, for those that watched the wild slugfest between Crafty and Junior at the last CCT event. :)
