Crafty has really shown me some very good chess in this tournament. Crafty has
shown some holes in its play before. I don't see them so far in this tournament.
This has to be more then just 8 cpu's and 16 million nodes a sec helping
Crafty's play. For this to happen Crafty must has also stepped up a notch on the
programming side. Speed is great, but speed can't always fix holes in a programs
play. As shown by Diep for example who also plays on a 8 way. Bob looks like a
big threat for any program in this touranment, and it is no fluke that Crafty is
in first place. Bob has to be considered a favorite to win this tournament. I
would not have said that 2 days ago.
