Rob,

My "Crafty logo" was elaborated by Massimo Gattari,
mgattari@cronosnet.com. Massimo placed here a post,
speaking that Chessbase had chosen his " Crafty logo "
as the better. In the same post he offered the
" Crafty logo " by email, therefore I think not to be
made a mistake to place the email of Massimo here.
Perhaps that is the cause of the differents analyses.
Look the analyses of my Crafty 16.6(as Fritz engine),
PII300, Ht=32Mb, with Massimo's logo in the position:
r3k2r/pp3ppp/5n2/1qppN3/8/2PQP3/PP3PPP/R3K2R b - -
Move		Depth	Time(sec.)   Evaluation
15....Qb6        11	    37		-0.07
15....Qb6	 12	    82		+0.02
15....Qb6        13        251		-0.09
15....Qb6	 14	   778		-0.10
And thus goes until the end of depth 14(903sec.)
