I don't think crafty 19.08 is stronger than 19.17

There could be two reasons for the performance:

1. Crafty 19.08 has been with you for quite some time, and has played a lot of
games. As a result, it has had a good learning oppurtunity. This allows it to
play stronger. Delete learning files for a better comparison (But save them
somewhere if you want to use them again)

2. Maybe you haven't played enough games!
