I see that the crazybishop scored 1/2 point more than woodpusher in paris championship in 1997 For the table see http://www.mark-weeks.com/chess/97wm$tix.htm I felt bad after the result of movei compared to woodpusher1997 that suggested that movei is even weaker than the middle of the table of 1997 programs. Now I feel better because at least it scored better than something that is better than the crazybishop of 1997. Uri
