At least normally, speaking in terms of human chess. But everything can happen with these machines. Look at JUNIOR against ISICHESS. I think Crafty played an absolutely weak game! Incredible. I thought that Bob has found something with passed pawns. But here Crafty went into a position where he had to block bP with his Rooks. Completely condemned into passivity. Instead of c4-c5 what I had in mind when I dreamed about a win Crafty played g4 and allowed Black to cut off the White King for a lifetime. Move 25.f3 must be seriously researched by Crafty's author. Probably already 22.h4 I guess. Guy, excuse me, but since you are from ICGA let me tell you with all due respect, that - from a human chess perspective - it looks absolutely crazy and inacceptable how this 10th round was seeded. Incredible. It was said that it were a computer program and that couldn't see the idiocy. But then I argue that smart and experienced human beings, experts, should have known that mess already in advance that 11 rounds for 14 participants is nonsense in itself and would lead to the actual mess.
