As always in computer chess, what was true yesterday is not always true today. I find the latest versions of crafty very strong playing the top commercial program even on equal hardware. At fast time controls I am now finding Crafty as good or better then some of the top commercail programs. I do notice a fall off for crafty as time controls get longer when playing the top programs. Only guessing but this may be due to the fact that you test more and tune more for play at fast time controls??!
