That's a totally >brain-dead implementation that simply wrecks any ability to play chess... When the CB version comes out I might rerun the games to see how things go. Crafty 19.15 score is currently 4.5/15, but of course still a very small number of games, so no conclusions to be reached really. I'm hoping it'll get a good run and get near the 50% mark as the tourney progresses. Graham.
