These were all 30 0 games played on a single Duron 900mhz machine, so 450mhz
effectively for each program.  These would be blitz games on more up-to-date
hardware

Learning on.
Pondering on.

xboard: Match Crafty-19.16 vs. Crafty-19.17: final score 24-23-53 (equal)
xboard: Match Crafty-19.13 vs. Crafty-19.17: final score 43-13-44 (wipe out)
xboard: Match Crafty-19.13 vs. Crafty-19.15: final score 22-20-58 (equal)


Crafty's current ICC rating drop in blitz coincides with the advent of 19.16/17.
 This seems to agree with other results that put pre-1916 versions as stronger.

I think something must be seriously out of whack with 19.17, at least against
computers and at short time controls.
