Hi Bob! Will we ever see a "Crafty Blitz"? Meaning Crafty playing on a Cray in a tournament? Any plans to let the original Cray Blitz play in a tournament again? Another question I always wanted to ask: Why the name "Crafty"? Does this word have a real meaning in english? Or is it "Cray" with an "ft" inserted? ;-) (And, by the way, why is there no wcrafty 16.17 executable on your ftp-site?) Greetings, Heiko.
