If this was a "package" prepared for other users ( as I believe it was) - the settings were deficient (imo) and may have impacted results. SSDF asked me to help in their setup using Arena and I initially gave them a bad learn setting ( not really needed!) had learning turned loff. SSDF restarted the testing with a fresh start. Crafty winboard settings should always be explicit - especially dealing with direcoty paths and the like.
