Whether that is the same result I would get using my hardware is another issue. Enrique is pretty good about catching problems, as in the original "newgame" problem when Crafty first became a fritz engine. But whether the book he used is good or not is another issue altogether... Crafty plays certain types of positions well, because I play them well. I try to adjust the book a bit to encourage it to play those openings it tends to do well with, and avoid those where it might be out of its element. That is one of the reasons I don't particularly like the Fritz GUI approach to life, because it sits between Crafty and the outside world, and does a lot of things by itself...
