Be fair. You are forgetting that the commercial programs do not publish their source code. Sure they are stronger, they have the crafty source code to look at. Due to this, one might say that crafty defines the dividing line between the top programs and the also rans. If your program is not at least as good as crafty, then it is not a top program. No matter how much Hyatt improves his program, he will never be able to best the top programs (for very long anyway), since he gives away all his ideas. > >Greetings Alex
