My first 50 games against Fritz 5.32 were at G/10 which Fritz won 41-9 vs Crafty 16.3. The second match was against Nimzo99 --20 games at G/5 (Nimzo won vs Crafty 16.4T 17.5-6.5). The next match was at G/10 (Nimzo vs Crafty 16.4T) Nimzo won 7.5-0.5. Last nite I kicked the time up to G/25 and Crafty 16.4T won 10-8 vs Nimzo99a. Today I finally got the info on how to get the tablebases working for Crafty 16.4T ! It comes with a read me file that I didn't see earlier. I love it when Crafty announces mate in 30 !! It seems that Crafty is better at the slower time controls--at least so far. I was getting frustrated trying to get the tablebases to work. I only have 4 man tablebases now but hope to get at least the KRP vs KR installed soon. It is a very common ending. Jim Walker
