Clearly you use the word 'clearly' too much. What hardware is used to play those games? One of Crafty's strengths is it's scalability. If those games were played on a single processor machine, then the gap would be much smaller than 200 points. I'm convinced Fruit is better than Crafty, at least on a single processor box. My original point was that it isn't *so* much better than Crafty that Crafty beating it should be the biggest upset of the tournament. -- James > >Uri
