You are >much better than your opponent, and get crushed by his speed (e.g., see Falcon >vs Crafty). That's a misjudgement Omid IMHO - at least concerning the game against Crafty. Bxh6 was great and shows that your specalutative evaluation can work extremely well. It also showed some tactical problems with Crafty - Rd1 was actually completely overlooked ( null move issue?) But Ra5 that lost the game for you - is it really a a search issue ? How about Ra8 that spoiled the win? I can easily reproduce Crafty's moves on my single-CPU notebook so it is not as if the speedy hardware was a significant factor in this game. I think knowledge in kingsafety can look very impressive, but it is also missing knowledge in evaluating the endgame that hurt Falcon. Add some IMHO at random points - it's a bit late :) Cheers Peter
