Hello Jose, I have only played Game/10 min blitz games so far trying to get a quick fix on Crafty's strenth compared to the others. I have Fritz 5.32, Jr 5.0 and Nimzo 99a. I hesitate to post the scores because of a recent discovery about Crafty losing on time. The auto232 does not claim wins on time for either computer so you have to go back and try to determine if the time control was exceeded by either program. I have found Crafty is exceeding the time control in a significant number of games. Many of these games were counted as wins/draws when in fact Crafty lost on time. I'm not sure I can prove when Crafty exceeded the time limit. I noticed this while watching some games today at G/5. So any game that went more than 80-100 moves is suspect. Most of the games were played at night after I went to sleep. Without the time loss factor Crafty was playing Nimzo 99 even and about 14.5-21.5 vs Fritz and Junior. Jim Walker
