I had Bionic Impakt play Crafty and even run it occasionally on FICS; my impression is that the two are quite different. Bionic plays much more positionally, is not as tactically alert, and needs a very fast machine to make up for its tactical "sluggishness". But, it is by no means a tactically weak program... If I was to estimate its potential, I'd say that it is AT LEAST on a par with Crafty on a dual or quad Pentium. A very nice program to watch playing, always seems to "know" what it is doing...
