This tells me not much difference between the two. I played 300 games of Crafty 16.6 vs (Crafty 16.6 w/tablebases)(3&5& some 5man). In the three 100 game matches(all blitz) Crafty with tablebases won the first 50 games while Crafty w/o tablebases won the second 50 games. The final score was 152-148 for the Crafty with tablebases. The point being that even 50 games at a certain time control is not enough to week out the best program especially if they are fairly evenly matched. Jim Walker
