Ah, you had a typo when you first mentioned the SOS game (h3 instead of b3). Yes, I agree that Crafty didn't understand this position well - and I wouldn't let it repeat this opening variation. I especially disliked Na3. But the position after the opening still looked OK - Crafty underestimated the free pawns of the opponent though. >Nor do I. Things went very well, IMHO.

Frans Morsch mentioned that he gives a huge score for the queen in this kind of position because they are nearly always won for the queen side :). Btw - did you manage to backup the logfiles before the Quad Opteron was handed back? It would be nice to be able to look at them - will you offer them for download ? Peter
