I know that Crafty as an engine for Fritz5 was weak relative to the real crafty
and chessbase did not tell it to the public.
The last Crafty16.3 does not clear hashtables but I do not know if it does not
have other problems(Robert Hyatt wrote that there may be because crafty carry
other things from search to search and not only hash tables).

I think that if their crafty is not the real crafty(without tablebases and
opening book) then they should tell it to the public and call their engine
craftyminus and not crafty.

If they do not do it then it is not honest.
