To say Crafty has a problem is fine, but consider the following
Hiarcs6 17½
Crafty 16.13 16½  Games will be posted in requested.  Played on two computers
witha time of 20 mins per game!

I think that despite, not yet being perfect!  Crafty continues to improve!
To only lose by one point, from 34 games, to the mighty Hiarcs of the chessbase
family is quite an achievment.  Even tho the Hiarcs named in this is only
Hiarcs6
I can only say well done Robert, this is a briliant piece of silicon engineering
