A have few and as always I get carried away with first impressions. :(

Anyway, Junior 5 used to be Crafty's nightmare: 8.5-1.5 against 16.1 and 8-2
against 16.3, and 16.3 did not clear hashtables as a Fritz engine. Instead,
Crafty 16.4 is beating J5 3.5-2.5. In other words, it is scoring in 6 games as
many points as the other Crafties in 20 games. 16.4 is playing much sharper than
before and is also quicker in tactics.

I know I need more games and more opponents, but the first impression couldn't
be better. Now, imagine 16.4 on a dual pentium, or a quad...
