This game is inside of the HIARCS 7.32 package. But do the Crafty permit the "turn of its quiescence search"? It is really possible to force this game right now to see the given position by "brute force", no extentions, at fixed depth? If so, I coud have perfectly clear idea about my "positional logic" speed immeditelly. I played Crafty. This game is more that interesting. If it is really done on C, it is amazing! Very good and quick. But if this game is 100% C it is the most crazy game as well. Crazy, because by writing such a good game on C its author gave up its first place to somebody else. Only portability of C can explain the C preference. Leonid.
