I am very interested in that statement. What is Crafty's record at 5 0 against
the top 4 or 5 programs. They do not play in the auto move mode unless there are
beta testers testing the new programs such as Fritz6 but under wraps, I dont
know !.
I think a qualifier on "best ever" and under what blitz speed should have been
stated. I would not dispute the claim, not at all, you are very reliable but I
am a little defensive for the other top programs when it comes to comarisons to
crafty cause ssdf has no data available to us !. I can say that Crafty vs Hiarcs
at time 5 0 very much favours Hiarcs on idential cpu's and memory. I believe the
same can be said of Junior5 and Fritz5.32 but I dont have enough data to draw
that conclusion.
