I should have thought of this before I started the tournament. I know newer versions of crafty changes it's book style when playing against a computer. But I am not sure if it makes a big differance. Because allmost all versions are far apart in terms of development, apart from learnings, changes in eval will also make a differance. I am also interested to run a tournament with the same opponents with learning off. I know how do it in newer versions with .craftyrc , but does it work the same way with older versions?

For me the most impressive is crafty12.90, how old is this version? Atleast 7 years? Points table: http://www.pavs.org/chess.html Cheers, pavs
