its a pity that crafty had not more luck. i would have welcomed it to see crafty
win.

Shredder seems to have a weak stage. first the tournament in mainz and now the
disapointing behaviour in iceland.

the main surprise are the strong new programs

zappa, spike, glaurung, fruit, toga, naum, ktulu.

this is really exciting.


i wonder how or why zappa has so high evaluation.

and i wonder why fruit plays strong but fails in impressive key move sacs in
test suits.

lots of work for testers. tuners and freaks...

this seems to be a high time.
