For the blitz tournament, I disabled the bookc.bin and it seemed to get better openings and had a much better result. Tied for 3rd against fairly strong porgrams and finishing tied for 3rd ahead of Junior, Rybka, Spikex and TheBaron. That's not too shabby. http://www.cctchess.be/blitz.htm Overall, the new "Crafty" shows a lot of promise. Bob has indictaed to me, it will be kept underwraps until at least the WCCC. During the regular tournament, I was often seeing 17,18 19 ply searches in the middle game. A good book is still very important and there was hardly any book preparation at all - except for turning off bookc.bin. My bookc.bin seemed to guide Crafty to terrible lines with the black pieces and it repeated a terrible Sicilian line twice.
